Detective Inspector Declan Walsh · #3
Hunter Hunted
“We need to hunt a killer… It’s you, Declan…”
When an old friend of DI Declan Walsh is murdered, and an old enemy restarts their vendetta against him, he's placed in charge of solving the case alongside his fellow detectives in the Last Chance Saloon Crime Unit, realising in the process that somewhere a new narrative is being written for the murder; one where the dead body is leaked to the press as an Extremist Terrorist, and Declan is being set up to be revealed as not only their terrorist handler in the UK, but also the prime suspect for the murder.
Now working against the clock to find a way to find the real killer before being publicly 'outed' as a terrorist, forced to abandon his family and home and escape from his own team, Armed Response units and Special Branch, Declan learns that the hunt is now being led by an old foe with a score to settle - and one that will happily kill Declan if it means capturing him.
Off the grid and running scared, Declan's forced to not only use his police skills but also his military background to survive, gaining help from unexpected sources and going deep undercover while fighting a vicious rival with unlimited resources - as he attempts to reveal the biggest conspiracy in Westminster and bring down a Government before he’s charged with terrorism and murder...

Walsh is no ordinary detective; he’s a man marked by the weight of his past, driven by an unrelenting desire for justice that borders on obsession. His team, including the sharp and compassionate DS Anjli Kapoor and the ever-resourceful DC Billy Fitzwarren, adds layers of complexity to each case, bringing their own struggles and personal demons into the investigation. Their chemistry, the highs and lows of their relationships, and their relentless pursuit of the truth form the emotional backbone of each book.
The Detective Inspector Declan Walsh series explores more than just crime—it delves into the psychology of those who commit it and the toll it takes on those who chase after it. The mysteries are not just puzzles to be solved, but reflections of human nature, fear, and the sometimes terrifying choices people make when pushed to their limits.
