Praise for the Leopold Blake series of Thrillers:
“Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time with its fast pace and nonstop action. A real page-turner, it leaps from crisis to crisis and never slows down, twisting all the way to its gripping conclusion.” – David VanDyke, author of The Plague Wars series.
“Buckle up… With precise blows, Nick Stephenson creates fight scenes that had me clenching my jaw with tension. The twists and turns kept me guessing – the pace of the story cracked along toward an exciting finish.” – Craig McGray, author of The Somnibus, Madeline, and This Little Piggy.
“Join the ride and you won’t put this book down” – Ken Rossignol, author of The Privateer Clause
“It’s a thrill ride, with a great combination of clever sleuthing and ferocious action scenes… and, of course, a shocker of an ending. The writing crackles with energy” – Jacques Antoine, author of The Emily Kane Adventures
Departed (A Leopold Blake Mystery / Thriller)
by Nick Stephenson
What happens when the world’s most celebrated criminal consultant goes head-to-head with the world’s most famous serial killer?
Set in modern day London, England, Departed pits expert criminologist Leopold Blake and his team against the legacy of history’s most famous murderer. Stalking the streets of the ancient capital, a psychotic serial killer has taken it upon himself to re-write history – with devastating consequences. With the help of a local historian, Blake and his team must find a way to hunt down and apprehend a ruthless maniac before it’s too late.
But things are not what they seem.
The action kicks off at Scotland Yard’s national headquarters in London’s East End and takes our hero on a quest throughout the city to uncover the person responsible for the most brutal murder spree in over a hundred years. As the clues begin to unravel, Blake and his team must face their greatest challenge yet: an unseen force, intent on wreaking havoc throughout the capital, is hunting on its home turf – and Leopold is about to realize that the good guy doesn’t always win.
This book hits hard, hits fast, and keeps your pulse pounding until the very end. A thrilling mix of action, humor, and mystery, the Leopold Blake series is Alex Cross meets Die Hard – an explosive mix that fans of Lee Child, Dan Brown, and James Patterson will love.
Departed is another exhilarating installment in the Leopold Blake series of thrillers, which can be read and enjoyed in any order.
