A seaside town on its knees.

A group hell bent on making it a better place, by KILLING.

Can DCI Walker stop whoever it is before things get completely out of hand?

When the Head Clown at Blackpool Tower Circus turns up dead in suspicious circumstances, a criminal investigation ensues, headed by DCI Walker. But when another body turns up just days later, with the same modus operandi, the double homicide becomes the talk of the town. The murderer, calling himself The Defender, wants people to be kinder to each other, and he’s prepared to kill to make it happen.

Sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind.

What starts as a cat and mouse chase soon transforms into a stampede—the Kindness Matters Movement emerges via an online forum, and things start to get complicated. It comes to a head on Bonfire Night, when a small army of copycats and followers do the bidding of their Defender, leading to a night of death and destruction. With the town on red alert, the so-called mastermind of these acts surprises everyone again; only this time, no-one is complaining, except for Walker and his team, that is.

Fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, Matt Brolly, Tim Sullivan, and LJ Ross will love this!

The Tower is the third book in the stunning debut police procedural crime thriller from JJ Richards (*although it can be listened to as a stand-alone).
