Savage Children by Peter Boland- Crime
A crime book with a difference. I would normally describe this as police procedural- however
its not the police that are proceeding with the evidence in this case. Children are going
missing and then the parents are receiving a picture. A picture drawn by their child of
themselves as an angel. Savage is ex SAS and now retired. He loves nothing more than
being a detective- unofficially of course. He and his friend Tannaz who is a computer
whizz get on the case when his neighbours child goes missing, as the police appear to
be going around in circles and getting nowhere. I quickly grew to like Savage- there is
something about his personality that makes him likeable although he can be one tough
man not to be messed with- someone you most definitely want on your side. His
relationship with Tannaz comes across very well and they bounce off of each other in
many ways. There is hard work and determination and also a little humour along the
way. I loved the name “St George is Cross” very clever indeed along with the bit at
the end (I’m not giving anything away!) A clever concept, wonderful characters and
a plot that kept me turning and turning- always a good sign! Mr Boland - this is
the first of your books I have read and won’t be the last.
A highly entertaining, compelling read.

ROM #1 BEST-SELLING AUTHOR IN AMAZON CRIME ACTION & ADVENTURE.
Children are disappearing from London parks. Caught on CCTV, they go in but never come out again…
Days after each disappearance, the distraught parents receive a hand-drawn picture of their child as an angel. A sign they’ll never see them again. The police have no clues or leads. All they have is a nickname for the abductor – the Archangel.
When Savage’s neighbour’s ten-year-old son Callum becomes a victim, he vows to find him, and catch this Archangel. Savage has his headstrong friend Tannaz to help him. This time it’s going to take more than her brilliant computer skills to find the truth. They’ll have to enlist the help of some new friends – and some old enemies.

As more children go missing, Savage realises the Archangel is a formidable adversary. Clever, elusive and terrifying. Savage also has the police on his back, watching his every move. The deeper Savage becomes involved, the more he realises all is not what it seems…
A twisty, chilling, action-packed thriller for fans of Lee Child and David Baldacci.
Author Bio:
After studying to be an architect, Pete realised he wasn’t very good at it. He liked designing buildings he just couldn’t make them stand up, which is a bit of a handicap in an industry that likes to keep things upright. So he switched to advertising, writing ads for everything from cruise lines to zombie video games.
After becoming disillusioned with working in ad agencies, he switched to writing novels (or was it because he just wanted to work at home in his pyjamas?). He soon realised there’s no magic formula. You just have to put one word in front of the other (and keep doing that for about a year). It also helps if you can resist the lure of surfing, playing Nintendo Switch with his son, watching America’s Next Top Model with his daughter and drinking beer in a garden chair.
