Stephen Fulcher

Catching a Serial Killer

My hunt for murderer Christopher Halliwell

Ebury Press (June 2017)

Fulcher Catching A Serial KillerOn the evening of Saturday, 19 March 2011, D.S. Stephen Fulcher receives a life-changing call that thrusts him into a race against time to save missing 22-year-old Sian O’Callaghan, who was last seen at a nightclub in Swindon. Steve knows from experience that he has a small window of time to find Sian alive, but his hopes are quickly dashed when his investigation leads him to Christopher Halliwell.

Following the investigation as it develops hour-by-hour, Steve’s gripping inside story of the cat-and-mouse situation that ensues shows how he hunted down Halliwell – his number-one suspect – which led him to the discovery of Sian’s body and another victim, Becky Godden-Edwards, who had been missing since 2002.

Catching a Serial Killer is a thrilling, devastating and absorbing look at a real-life murder case and potentially one of the UK’s most prolific serial killers.

So when his private investigator turns up a lead that connects Kay to Lolly, Mal needs to find out more. But in doing so, he’s delving into a decades-old mystery that could throw Lolly’s entire world into chaos and she’ll need every ounce of her survival instinct if she’s to make it out the other side . . .

Kray The Payment Part 1THE FIRST PART IN THE ADDICTIVE NEW 4-PART EBOOK-SERIAL FROM ROBERTA KRAY: NO ONE KNOWS CRIME LIKE KRAY

You think you know who I am. Five seconds is all it takes to sum me up and dismiss me. But a man needs company, and I want a woman who’s worth the effort. There’s no rush, though. I’m not going to make the same mistake twice. As I’ve found to my cost, bodies are hard to get rid of.

Ava Gold is working the late shift as a cabbie when she picks up a passenger, a young woman named Holly, who’s worse for wear. Not knowing where to drop her off, Ava ends up letting Holly crash at her place – but she will regret this act of kindness come the morning. Because opening her home up in this way sets Ava on a dangerous path. It’s a path that leads to missing women, murder and the one man she’s been trying to stay away from: local nightclub owner, Chris Street. And it also brings her to the attention of another man, a man no one is watching but who’s been watching Ava for a very long time . . .

I’m more than aware that Ava Gold isn’t the perfect choice, but I can’t resist a challenge. I’m the sort of man who likes to throw a little danger into the mix. Now that the decision’s made, I feel at ease, almost peaceful. It won’t be long before my cage has an occupant, an exotic bird to keep me company. Let the game commence.

Ava Gold is beginning to wish she’d never tried to help Holly, but now that her coat has turned up covered in what could be Holly’s blood, Ava knows she can’t just walk away. Holly is missing and the police don’t know where to start looking for her, but Ava does. As Ava begins her own hunt for Holly, she’s unaware that another hunt is about to begin – one in which Ava is the hunted . . .

NO ONE KNOWS CRIME LIKE KRAY

I’m keeping an eye on Ava Gold just in case her routine changes. The attack will be swift and silent, a lesson in efficiency. If you’re going to do a job, you have to do it properly. It’s a satisfying feeling having everything in place. I know there’s always room for error, but careful planning goes a long way towards a successful outcome. The devil, as they say, is in the detail. 

Ava Gold is in trouble. Holly is still missing, there are now two dead bodies, and Chris Street is in the frame for at least one of those murders. Then there are the anonymous notes she keeps receiving, not to mention that Lee Bullen won’t leave her alone. She knows that she should tell the police what she knows about Holly, but there’s so much going on she doesn’t know what to deal with first. And that means she’s too distracted to notice that the most dangerous threat is getting closer and closer . . .

NO ONE KNOWS CRIME LIKE KRAY

I don’t mind a challenge, especially when the odds are stacked in my favour. My last guest was a snivelling wretch, always crying, always pleading, as if any of that nonsense was going to make a damn bit of difference. Ava Gold is going to make up for all the disappointments of my life, all the tedious days and tiresome nights. If she behaves, I’ll treat her well – I’m not in the business of making people suffer unnecessarily – but I won’t be disobeyed . . .

Ava wants to believe Chris is innocent of the crime he’s accused of but the more digging she does, the worse it looks for him. And there’s still the issue of Holly and what Ava’s been hiding from the police to sort out. Ava doesn’t think things can get any worse but she has no idea how wrong she is, because the man who’s been watching her has decided the time for watching is over. He’s ready to act .
