Synopsis

Whatever it takes - Deputy District Attorney Paige Callen is being stalked, and the man stalking her is motivated, methodical, and relentless. The police aren't merely one step behind Paige's stalker; they're stumped. So Paige's father, retired Judge 'Iron Gene' Callen, instead hires retired San Francisco P.D. Inspector turned private investigator Bob Farrell, to the dismay of the local police. The cops know all-too-well Farrell's reputation as a reckless wild card. Judge Callen, however, knows Farrell as a man who never lets the rules get in the way of getting the job done. Farrell enlists the aid of former Iowa Deputy Kevin Kearns to help him protect Paige, and to stop a madman before she becomes a statistic. But to find her stalker, Farrell and Kearns must first learn why he's launched his crusade; a journey none of them might survive.

About this title

Review:

With perfectly crafted characters, riveting and authentic police procedure, and a satisfying breakneck pace, Sean Lynch's the Fourth Motive is nothing less than a tour de force of the detective thriller genre. - --Mark Greaney- #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Command Authority

"With Wounded Prey, Sean Lynch delivers a hell for leather, wild ride of a debut with the "been there done that" authenticity that lifts it above other thrillers. I just added Farrell and Kearns to my short-list of favourite characters, and Vernon Slocum to my worst nightmares! Think First Blood meets No Country For Old Men." --Matt Hilton, bestselling author of the Joe Hunter series

"Knowing my predeliction for reading crime books written by those who have experienced this world at first hand, Sean Lynch was an absolute find for me! With not only experience as an Infantryman in the US Army and a long career in law enforcement, Lynch is perfectly placed to imbue this novel, a brutal and bloody tale of the pursuit of a psychopathic killer, with a frighteningly accurate depiction of the essential natures of both killer and pursuer - and yes, this is definitely not one for the more nervous nellies among you, so be warned. Personally, I couldn't fault this visceral, violent and completely enthralling thriller." - --Raven Crime Reads
