Trigger by Kris Brooker
Trigger was groomed in the House of the Lord. The coveting of priests, they said, was a reward for his faith. But God sent Jamie, the girl with blood on her hands. She saved them both, and God’s warriors burned in Hell.
Hidden amongst London’s homeless Trigger feels that God has stopped listening. Jamie broke her vow and killed again. Torn between his faith and his affection, Trigger will do anything to protect her.
Sergeant Adams has made the connection. A third body convinces him there’s a serial-killer loose in London, so why won’t his superiors listen?
Adams will risk his job, and his life, to stop a killer preying on London’s homeless.
Three personalities, ever-darkening desires; an endgame they’ll never see coming.
I cried at the end.
That’s all I have to say!
A book that understands the subject matter in hand. Trigger is a lost soul on the streets of London who mixes with some bad people, and doesn’t get the rub of life. Talk about spiralling downwood. Jamie is fucking awesome
Got me from the start. Really edgy detail from first person that paints a vividly distressing downturn in Trigger. Got me at the end too.
Brilliant
Not what I thought it would be. Too far removed from the main stream crime I usually read. That said, you may readand disagree?
Best book by miles in a while. Recommend it
