The Friend

Written by Charlie Gallagher

Narrated by Alexis Rodney

The Kindle Best seller returns with the first in a gripping new crime series.

A Stranger.  A promise.  A deadly game.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Even justice.  
  
Danny and Sharon Evans are desperate for answers. Why did their seemingly happy daughter try to take her own life?  
   
When a stranger approaches Danny, saying he knows who’s to blame, Danny is tempted, despite Sharon’s reservations. And when his new friend offers them revenge, how can he walk away?  
    
But little does Danny know he is being invited to play a terrible game. A game that won't just change lives – it will end them.   
   
DI Joel Norris knows this is no ordinary case when two seemingly unconnected murders hit his desk within a matter of days. But how far is he willing to go to solve the puzzle?  
  
Dark, gripping and unforgettable, The Friend will keep fans of Harlan Coben and Mark Billingham on the edge of their seats.

Charlie Gallagher

Charlie Gallagher was a serving UK police officer for thirteen years. During that time, he had many roles, starting as a frontline response officer, then a member of a specialist tactical team and later as a detective investigating the more serious offences. His books are a series of thrillers and, rather unsurprisingly, policing is central to the stories. He lives with his family on the south coast of Kent.
