Trigger by Kris Brooker
Trigger was groomed in the House of the Lord. The coveting of priests, they said, was a reward for his faith. But God sent Jamie, the girl with blood on her hands. She saved them both, and God’s warriors burned in Hell.
Hidden amongst London’s homeless Trigger feels that God has stopped listening. Jamie broke her vow and killed again. Torn between his faith and his affection, Trigger will do anything to protect her.
Sergeant Adams has made the connection. A third body convinces him there’s a serial-killer loose in London, so why won’t his superiors listen?
Adams will risk his job, and his life, to stop a killer preying on London’s homeless.
Three personalities, ever-darkening desires; an endgame they’ll never see coming.
Plenty of twists and turns through a minefield of emotional trauma. More than enough in going on to keep the pages turning
Can’t agree with sme of the other reviews. Decent enough book though
Trigger is well sculpted and presented with some fab characters. Oodles of empathy for a flawed young man been written without excess. I just wanted to keep reading to see if he survived.
A very confused young man in a lot of trouble, caused by his psycho girlfriend and some honest mistakes. Half the Met wants him now as does a debt collector who thinks he’s Dirty Harry and a serial killer. A non stop descent into anarchy that touched my heart.
I almost cried when I read the end. So emotive this story plucked at my heart strings. So immersive I couldn’t put it down. Poor Trigger !!
