The Black Widow of Billinghay
THE BLACK WIDOW OF BILLINGHAY: THE EXPLOSIVE SECOND INSTALMENT OF THE BLACK WIDOW TRILOGY IS HERE
LINCOLN, UK - Master of regional noir and psychological suspense delivers a devastating blow in THE BLACK WIDOW OF BILLINGHAY, the highly anticipated second book in the black widow thriller series. Picking up mere seconds after the shattering climax of Book One, this slow-burn, high-stakes British thriller explores the brutal reality of what happens when a self-made man's past, business, and family are weaponized against him by the person he trusted most.
In THE BLACK WIDOW OF BILLINGHAY, prominent Lincolnshire builder and publican Lou finds himself caught in the ultimate bureaucratic nightmare. Systematically targeted by a series of devastating, calculated false disclosures orchestrated by his wife, Katie-the cold, brilliant manipulator known to readers as the "Black Widow"-Lou is trapped within the cogs of the local police force.
As Lou fights to maintain his freedom and protect his asset, the Coach and Horses pub in Billinghay, Katie executes a clinical eviction strategy. But the chess board grows deadlier with the arrival of Samuel Critchley, Katie's estranged, arrogant brother. Fresh out of a ten-year prison sentence for GBH and determined to reclaim his respect, Samuel arrives in the dark fens to collect a 5,000 blackmail debt from his sister-only to find an empty property, a gutted business, and a husband waiting in the shadows.
What follows is an epic, claustrophobic showdown between two titans of industry and the streets, culminating in a vicious, no-holds-barred confrontation that will leave the Coach and Horses-and Lou's life-hanging entirely in the balance.
Praise for the Black Widow Series:
"A masterclass in British grit. The tension rolls off the page like the Lincolnshire fen mist." "Lou is a phenomenal protagonist-a mountain of a man dealing with a psychological predator."
