Synopsis

In his first novel, the bestselling true crime author and star of ID’s hit series Dark Minds takes you into the world of a sadistic serial killer. 
 
M. William Phelps’s The Dead Soul takes you on a suspenseful journey through Boston’s illicit past, where Detective Jake “Sundance” Cooper fights to redeem his crumbling career. At the same time, a sadistic serial killer known as “The Optimist”—a character based on the author’s 20 years of research and writing about real serial killers—terrorizes young female victims along the city’s Freedom Trail. Cooper’s investigation exposes a corrupt Boston PD. It puts him at the center of a choice between blue blood loyalty and the pursuit of truth as his mentor, Detective Mo Blackhall, faces an indictment for his involvement in a scandal.  
 
This gritty thriller provides a fascinating look into the reality of Boston’s mean streets. Driven by a cast of characters reminiscent of Dennis Lehane’s finest fiction, The Dead Soul offers a thrill ride of suspense, mystery, and police procedural drama. 
 
“Read the first page of The Dead Soul and you won’t stop . . . Phelps’s narrative grabs you by the lapels and doesn’t let go.” —John Lutz, New York Times–bestselling author

    There is something about the number 3.  
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. 
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
    From their pens to your your ears.

    Adam Askew, a young man in a hurry, always wanted to be financially independent. Armed with guts, determination and a cocky self-assurance, he sets up a shipping company with a view to take on the world, one ton of cargo at a time.
    Fed up with the cliquey set-up in Durban, he takes a gutsy gamble, the biggest risk of his life, one that will ultimately make or break him. He heads for the big city lights of swanky 80s Joburg and is soon wining and dining at the Top of the Carlton, sipping the best champagne in London and making some enemies along the way.
    Set in the closing decades of the 20th century in sanction-wracked South Africa, Pleasures of the Harbour navigates a world of dodgy business partners, dubious deals and a few failed attempts at love before Adam can finally, and honestly, say he's made it.
    Part adventure, part action, and lots of wheeling and dealing means readers are in for a rollicking ride in this highly entertaining novel that traverses the high seas and low roads of Southern Africa, while opening boardroom and a few bedroom doors along the way.
    Adam Kethro, the author, saw his school years fly by in Welkom, Brakpan and Durban. After two attempts at matric, a short dip as a stoker on the Railways, and a stint in the army's horse division, he began his career in the shipping industry.
