The Viaduct (A DS Jason Smith Thriller Book 21)

From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the Detective Jason Smith series
Two hundred feet below an old bridge, a teenage girl lies battered and bruised. Barely alive, she knows she's not going to make it.

Two days later, another teenager is found in almost exactly the same spot.
Suicide. That's what the papers are saying.

But when a third victim of the now legendary viaduct turns up, Detective Sergeant Jason Smith doesn't buy it. Something else is happening here - something much darker.

As Smith and the team start asking questions, the investigation takes a turn for the worse when things get much closer to home.

Smith's adopted daughter goes missing, and when he finds out she was last seen close to this sinister viaduct, he fears the worst.

Smith knows he's running out of time.

Will he get to the truth before the viaduct lures its next victim to their death?

What readers are saying about THE VIADUCT:
An unputdownable best seller in the making from one of my favourite author's it's another 5 stars from me.. – Booklover Bev
OMG! I love Stewart’s book and DS Smith but this one takes it to a whole new level. I knew Jason was tenacious and determined but wow, oh wow and every other related superlative. – Misfits farm
Love the characters and there is always a fair bit of humour throughout, usually centred around Jason. Jason certainly has an unusual style about him, particularly dealing with his superiors and also his family. Enjoyed this book and also this series. – Maureen
In summary: another brilliant read with plenty of twists and turns and the curve balls I expect from books by this author with the right amount of humour to soften the darkness. – Reading Addict

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live.

In 2013 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later.

3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor Cornwall series.

The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well.

I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing results. I therefore made the decision to self-publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor series and was published in July 2018.

After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brings together the brooding, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor. Dropzone followed shortly after and the third in the series, The Raven Girl finished things off.

Miranda is something totally different. What was to be a stand-alone psychological thriller, it is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before. The ending begged for a sequel and, Mistress was born. Medusa completes the Miranda trilogy.

There are now 25 DS Smith books available with many more planned for the future.

I wanted a break from the crime thriller genre so I came up with The Divide - a macabre horror tale of survival, but crime will always be my true love.

A new series featuring Irishman, DI Liam O'Reilly begins with Blood on the Island, and that was followed by ten more mysteries set on the island of Guernsey.

When I'm not writing I love sailing, guitars and jumping out of perfectly good planes. I'm lucky to have a huge lake on my doorstep as well as a world-class skydiving drop zone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! I think this was the best DS Smith story I’ve read so far!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2023
    Wow! I think this was the best DS Smith story I’ve read so far! It’s packed with action, suspense, twists and turns and may well be DS Smith’s hardest case ever.

    I love the team that woks with DS Smith. They are a great team; they care about each other as well as their cases they work on. When a young girl is thought to have committed suicide by jumping 200 feet, they team works tirelessly to find the truth for her mother. In finding that truth there are some twisted truths being discovered as well. DS Smith has more than this case on his mind though when he ends up in the hospital for a night. The team will carry on, but Jason will be sitting on the sidelines and wondering what is happening while he is working through all he knows by himself.

    This was an intense ride from the beginning to the end of the book. It was a hard to put down story that kept the pages turning and the story unfolding as quickly as I could read it. DS Smith is a man that believes in justice and that those that commit the crime need to pay for it, this story will test his beliefs and his team. I loved it and gave this story a 5-star review. I look forward to more stories by Stewart Giles with DS Jason Smith and his team.

    THE VIADUCT drops you in the midst of a terrifying situation. What follows later is the most chilling, unconscionable explanations ever seen before. This page turning, edge of your seat diabolical mystery will leave you stunned. The only thing more shocking than the baffling conundrum is the dynamite conclusion.
