The Devil's Revenge

Pre- order now live on Amazon. Release date 30th of June 2026.

 

Some men hide in plain sight. That's what makes them dangerous.

When Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Bannon is pulled from his posting in country Victoria and handed a cold case by Detective Superintendent Turner. A fourteen-year-old girl raped and murdered in an empty house for sale in Cheltenham. He inherits more than a file. He inherits a failed investigation, and the uncomfortable suspicion that whoever did this won’t stop at one.
The first breakthrough doesn't come from the case file. It comes from a second body. A woman found strangled on St Kilda Beach, her night at a local hotel ending the way the killer planned from the moment he followed her.
As Bannon, Sergeant Mick Ryan, and Detective Sergeant Brad Kingsley piece together the evidence, the investigation pulls them deeper into a world of lonely victims, buried secrets, and a man who selects his targets. And with another woman already in his sights, time is not on their side. The killer is organised, methodical, and hiding in plain sight behind a tradie's ute, a dating profile, and a patient, predatory calm.
But Bannon has his own complications. A divorce grinding through the courts. Three children he barely sees. A posting at the end of all this that may or may not be waiting. And in a small town north of Melbourne, a missing sergeant and a web of corruption that someone very much wants left alone.
A gripping police procedural set in Melbourne's bayside suburbs, where the danger wears an ordinary face and the cost of the job is measured in more than time.

 The Devil's Revenge

Edits are flying through, chapters drifting into my beta readers inboxes. So far reports back give it a thumbs up as a thrilling and intriguing ride. I'm still looking at a late June 2026 release date with or without a pre-order.

A small snippet from the prologue

He didn’t recall her name or voice, he recalled the way her body moved in time with the music.

The memory returned as he sat alone, the night air thick and still. With each pirouette, the tulle cloud swirled around her body. Slippers gliding across the slick studio floor, which mirrored the expansive turns and the meticulous control of each step. She moved with a delicate swan’s grace, unaware his gaze followed her.

Chairs lined the wall, hard plastic biting into his legs as he sat among other parents observing their own children. His gaze slid, settled, memorised. Week after week, same class, same hour, same anticipation building as the music swelled. The dancers transformed … their movements blurred, their costumes a vivid, colourful explosion.

Her focus remained, her vision fixed upon a point existing within, blocking the external realm. He speculated how it would feel to hold her attention. It unsettled him at first. Later, it became familiar … comforting, even.
