WHO CAN YOU TRUST?

Los Angeles is a city under siege.

When Detective Addison Mowbray begins investigating the murders of two young women in the Hollywood Hills, he can’t  imagine where the case will lead. He suspects the crimes were inspired by an occult fascination, due to some missing body parts and the inverted Christian cross branded on the victims’ breasts. But apart from Addison’s temperamental partner, Jed, the only other person keen on them pursuing that line of investigation is Lilly Coniglio, a medical examiner from the Coroner’s Department. The LAPD is already under immense public pressure due to all the  bad press another killer – a vigilante – has brought to their door: it’s been over a year since the first organized-crime figure showed up full of holes, with a plastic police badge beside his body.

As Addison and Jed navigate a murky, disturbing occult landscape in search of answers, they uncover something even more terrifying than a killer hiding in the shadows: an organization so vile and powerful that it changes their lives forever. These two  troubled detectives are all that stand between this organization  and a spectacular season of carnage.
Set against a backdrop of urban bleakness and social inequality,  Sons of Brutality combines deeply flawed protagonists with human monsters, integrating strong dialogue, violent action and gripping suspense.

 

‘Gripping read … a new contender for the crime/horror genre.’
– LEIGH BLACKMORE, Author and compiling editor of numerous works of horror and the occult, including Terror Australis: The Best of Australian Horror.

‘Dark and gruesome. One of those rare books I have worked on that I wanted to continue reading in bed.’
– JENNY SCEPANOVIC, book editor
