    About this ebook




    A cozy English seaside town built on secrets and smugglers, Blackpool is a haven for tourists and home to generations of locals who like their privacy. American Molly Graham and her British husband, Michael, are considered outsiders, but feel irresistibly drawn to this town…and its darker curiosities. Because Blackpool harbors dangerous mysteries.

    And murder is just the beginning….

    A shattering scream outside the old theater leads to the victim, a woman whose past in Blackpool is linked to a seventy–year–old train wreck, a lost child and a cache of valuable paintings smuggled out of London during World War II. After a number of frustrating missteps, can Molly and Michael discover the killer in their midst? In Blackpool they know secrets run deep. And some want them hidden forever—at any cost.

      Hmmm, tricky. I didn't love it, didn't hate it. I quite liked the style and the way the story was continuously pushed forward, but on the downside I had two major problems with this book. One - I figured out what was happening very early. I don't think I'm particularly a genius for this - I think most readers will work it out. The problem here of course is that if we can figure it out so early, then it makes our hero, super-investigative journalist Henry Parker, look a bit like a dolt for taking so long. Two - huge plot-holes in the story. I can't give the main hole away without spoiling the story for those who haven't read it, so I won't, but lets just say people's motives for behaving the way they do is more than a little questionable.I'm glad I'm not a friend of Henry's - they seem to get into more than their fair share of trouble. This is the first Pinter book I've read, but constant references back to previous incidents featuring Henry and his girlfriend Amanda mean that I don't feel the need to read any back story in a previous book. It also makes Henry seem like a very unlucky reporter and I can't help wondering how scarred he will end up being by the end of the series!

      One of the Henry Parker novels and the first I’ve read. A child kidnapped some years earlier reappears with his family with no recollection of where he has been or what has happened and Henry, a journalist, is invited to interview the child and tell his story. However Parker’s investigative skills are pushed when he wonders why no one else is interested in fining out what has happened to the child. What follows is a well written thriller as Parker chases down the truth in the face of increasing political pressure to back off and physical danger. The premise of this story was good and yet it left me feeling slightly dissatisfied.

      One of the most unbelievable things has happened. Twelve year old, Daniel Linwood has returned home. So your probably saying so what’s the big deal about that? Well the big deal is that five years ago Daniel Linwood vanished. The police, his family and the community searched but never found a single trace of what happened to young Daniel. Now here he is, standing on his parents door step without a single scratch on him as if he never was gone. Henry Parker is a reporter with the New York Gazette. Henry’s boss gives him the assignment of interviewing the Linwood family reunion story. While interviewing Daniel, Henry learns someone or something more sinister is behind a whole string of children disappearing just the same way as Daniel did. Henry could have just stumbled on one of the biggest stories of his career. There is just one problem… Henry needs help. Henry knows just who to turn to be will she lend a hand to Henry or will Henry be on his own this time?Henry Parker is a fine character. He’s one of those reporters where they will do anything to bring the readers the best stories around even the gritty and grimiest ones that other reporters might not tough. The Stolen is the first book I have read by Jason Pinter featuring Henry Parker. I have wanting to check out a Pinter book for a while. Well after finishing The Stolen I have to say that I was not disappointed. I am glad to say that I have now read a Jason Pinter book and enjoyed it. While not a new author, Mr. Pinter is one of the greatest new author’s to come my way. The Stolen is Mr. Pinter’s third book featuring Henry Parker. You can be assured I will be checking all Mr. Pinter’s other books featuring Henry Parker.
