Mr Killjoy: An Absorbing British Crime Thriller (Luke Sackville Crime Thrillers Book 9) Kindle Edition
The Luke Sackville Crime Thriller series continues…
Beware the bearer of false gifts
Luke Sackville’s Ethics Team is stretched to breaking point across several investigations, little realising that one man links them all.
Narcissistic, cunning and ruthless, Mr Killjoy is reaping the rewards of cybercrime, and is indifferent to the fact that his victims are being driven to despair and beyond.
Luke connects the dots and begins to home in, but as the villain is cornered he strikes out and none of the team is safe.
Mr Killjoy is the ninth book in the series of crime thrillers featuring ex-DCI Luke Sackville and his Ethics Team. It’s perfect for fans of JD Kirk, LJ Ross, Jack Gatland, Alex Smith, TG Reid and JM Dalgliesh.

About the author

Let's get one thing straight: my name's Steve. I've never been called 'SJ' but Steve Richards is a political writer hence the pen name.
I was born in Bath and have lived at various times on an irregular clockwise circle around England. After university in Manchester my wife and I settled in Macclesfield before moving to Bedfordshire then a few years ago back to Somerset. We now live in Croscombe, a lovely village just outside Wells, with our 2 sprightly cocker spaniels.
I've always loved writing but have only really had the time to indulge myself since taking early retirement. My daughter is a brilliant author (I'm not biased of course) which is both an inspiration and - because she's so good - a challenge. After a few experiments, and a couple of completed but unsatisfactory and never published novels, I decided to write a crime fiction series as it's one of the genres I most enjoy.
