A stunning thriller that sees Yorkshire-based DC Karen Sharpe brought to the very edge of her sanity.

A year and a half ago DC Karen Sharpe was the victim of a terrifying crime. Desperately trying to shelter from its effects she has been working simple fraud and theft cases in West Yorkshire CID. But the brutal murder of a young pregnant woman threatens the precarious wall she has built around herself. Drafted onto the squad to deal with the victim's six-year-old child, Karen finds herself overwhelmed by the devastating nature of the attack.

As nightmares from her past start to reoccur, her relationships with those closest to her begin to crack under the strain. An illicit relationship with her boss promises escape: a new beginning without the trappings of past horrors and guilt. But life has a savage lesson in store for her. As West Yorkshire erupts in a summer of explosive race riots, events tip Karen into the depths of the very world she has been fleeing.

Industry Reviews

Connor's plot is enthralling, his characters sharp and vital: FALLING is a compelling, intelligent thriller, placing everyday normality in dramatic relief against the horrific experiences of Sharpe and her colleagues - Financial Times

A first-rate thriller with a terrific climax - Sunday Telegraph

He's created a beguilingly complex character, perfectly suited to his taut thrillers - Mirror

Drips authenticity from every pore. The author cooks up an excellently complex and tightly-wrought plot and he can construct a true-to-life range of characters . . . I look forward to many more novels featuring DC Karen Sharpe - Tribune

John Connor drives his complex tale of secrecy and betrayal along at a cracking pace. Not for the faint-hearted, but highly recommended - Irish Independent

The police procedural novel is given the kind of spruce up it has been in need of for some time - Daily Express

The writing is skilled and the West Yorkshire background described with authority in a plot based on racial tensions and their explosive repercussions . . . not a comfortable read but a gripping one - Literary Review
