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.
Reading Trigger made me feel better about my own in-laws. I have to say i didn’t expect a free online offering to be this good. I’ve already begun reading Thirty
Trigger is running from an abusive past. He’s about to be hunted by the MET through London, has a psycho-chick on his arm, and is being chased by a crazed drug dealer. For a character with so many flaws he retains a big heart. No wonder its testing his faith in God?
Heavy subject but easy to read; hard to put down. Deals with prejudice, assault, drug abuse, murder, and lots of collateral damage.
I felt many emotions whilst reading this book. Triggers actions are often wrong, but he’s been let down and abandoned by everyone, except Jamie. He’s grasping onto whatever he can but feeling life slip through his fingers. Characters that shook me. Emotional book
This is gritty and some times raw image of a young man trying to rejoin the world. His mental health and girlfreind hold him back, then a chance encounter forces him down a rabbit hole of woe to a grand finale. Best book in ages.
