Murphy's Revenge

The second novel in the terrific series featuring Detective Martin Murphy from the acclaimed screen-writer, journalist and novelist Colin Bateman

If you found the person who brutally murdered a loved one, what would you do? Forgive and forget? Or take the law into your own hands? Detective Martin Murphy is the law and he’s back with a vengeance…
Someone has started killing the killers - who just happen to have been under the surveillance of ‘Confront’, a support group for relatives of murder victims who believe that therapy comes through ‘empowerment’.
Suspecting the group of revenge killings, Murphy goes undercover and joins them. But it seems that ‘Confront’ have been doing their own detective work and before Murphy realises, the group is forcing him to face the harrowing events of his own past.
Now Murphy must come to terms with the past whilst also bringing the killers’ killer to justice. The only problem is he’s starting to think that whoever’s doing the killing may have a point. After all, revenge is sweet … isn’t it?
