he Spider by Stewart Giles- Crime

 

The Spider by Stewart Giles- Crime

The Spider- a parkour athlete like no other, flitting in and out and murdering quickly and quietly. Murdering those who are victims- hard done to by their partners. Jason Smith has little to go on other than that the man has been seen climbing like his arachnoid namesake. What is he achieving and why?

Wow! Yet another brilliant concept from Stewart that kept me in its web (!) right the way through. Its tense, its spellbinding and tantalising. There is a domestic thread to Smith which gives a nice contrast from his work life with drama of its own. I love Stewart's characters- they are ones you can't help but like, and Smith is one that says it as it is, no messing! A fabulous, clever, brilliant, more than highly entertaining read.

THE SPIDER (Detective Jason Smith #36) by Stewart Giles

From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the Detective Jason Smith series.

If you're in his web, you're as good as dead.

A new kind of killer is stalking the men and women of York.

He knows everything about his victims - he kills quickly, and with absolute precision.

When DS Jason Smith watches a CCTV clip of this creature in action, he dubs him The Spider.

He moves like a spider and he kills like a spider.

Smith soon learns that there's a common denominator at play. All of the victims share one thing in common, but for the first time in his career, understanding the motive behind the murders isn't going to help Smith one little bit.

How do you bring down a killer who is impossible to catch?

It's quite possible that The Spider is going to be the one that finally beats Smith.

Stewart Giles – Author Bio

After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live. 

In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later. 

3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series - the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall series.

The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well. 

I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing results.  I therefore made the decision to self-publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor series which was published in July 2018.

After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor. 

The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before. 

The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow. I also have another series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the Detective Liam O’Reilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.
