Book Synopsis
'Francis Ackerman [is] a manipulative monster with a corrupt conscience' THE TIMES You don't know the meaning of pain. Let me teach you. A father returns home to find that his family has been kidnapped. He can get them back – alive – if he agrees to pay the ransom. The price is simple: the life of an innocent. Special Agent Marcus Williams is the only one who can stop the Coercion Killer. But to do so, he must first untangle his family's dark past. A past that ties him to the infamous serial killer Francis Ackerman Jr. Marcus knows that uniting with Francis will be dangerous. But the Coercion Killer has scarred their lives, and is poised to destroy many more. Sometimes stopping the worst of the worst is a job for the best of the bad. Praise for Ethan Cross: 'The surprises are fast and furious and will leave you breathless to read more' LISA GARDNER 'A fast paced, all too real thriller with a villain right out of James Patterson and Criminal Minds' ANDREW GROSS 'A great mix of gruesome murders, a psychotic killer, revenge and great writing' CRIMESQUAD

Trade Review
A violent and exceptionally gory example of the sub-Hannibal Lecter genre * Irish Independent *
PRAISE FOR ETHAN CROSS: 'Ethan Cross manages to pull a new variant out of the black hat in Francis Ackerman... A manipulative monster with a corrupt conscience' The Times. 'A great mix of gruesome murders, a psychotic killer, revenge and great writing... I would recommend this book and make Cross an author to watch in future' CrimeSquad. 'A rather unusual talent has suddenly appeared, fully formed... However many chapters you may plan to read, you will be persuaded to read just one more. The 300 pages turn very swiftly indeed' Barry Forshaw, We Love This Book. 'The surprises are fast and furious and will leave you breathless to read more' Lisa Gardner. 'A fast paced, all too real thriller with a villain right out of James Patterson and Criminal Minds' -- Andrew Gross
