Rage

The Hunter in the Shadows

In Rage, Simon Conway catapults readers into a chilling cat-and-mouse game that unfolds across the fog-laden English countryside. When a series of brutal killings erupts in the remote villages of Kent, Detective Inspector Kate Lord is summoned to unravel the killer’s twisted trail. With each new victim discovered in overcrowded barns or abandoned chalk pits, the urgency intensifies—and the community teeters on the brink of panic. Conway’s masterful pacing and razor-sharp prose immerse readers in an atmosphere thick with suspicion, as every rustle in the underbrush and flicker of torchlight could signal the predator’s next move.

Blood on the Chalk Downs

As Kate delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a pattern both horrifying and methodical: each body is positioned with ritualistic precision, a cryptic message scrawled in crimson at the scene. Haunted by her own past failures, she partners with forensic psychologist Dr. Marcus Llewellyn, whose unorthodox methods skirt the edge of obsession. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of local legends—of an age-old curse whispered among farmhands—and a web of buried grudges that spans generations. Conway’s vivid descriptions of the rolling Downs, strewn with bleached bones and whispered superstitions, elevate the novel beyond a mere thriller into a haunting portrait of fear and folklore.

The Final Reckoning

In a claustrophobic climax beneath a crescent moon, Kate and Marcus confront the killer in a derelict windmill, where secrets as old as the land itself converge in a breathtaking showdown. Every revelation brings them closer to a truth more terrifying than they ever imagined—one that will test the limits of justice and the resilience of the human spirit. As the stakes reach a fever pitch, Conway delivers a finale that is both visceral and emotionally resonant, leaving readers breathless long after the final page is turned.
