Don’t miss the series that inspired the major ITV drama starring Aidan Turner – Shatter is the third Joe O’Loughlin thriller.
Can you hear it?
The sound of a mind breaking?A naked woman in red high-heeled shoes is perched on the edge of Clifton Suspension Bridge with her back pressed to the safety fence, weeping into a mobile phone. Clinical psychologist Joseph O’Loughlin is only feet away, desperately trying to talk her down. She whispers, ‘you don’t understand,’ and jumps.
Later, Joe has a visitor – the woman’s teenage daughter, a runaway from boarding school. She refuses to believe that her mother would have jumped off the bridge – not only would she not commit suicide, she is terrified of heights.
Joe wants to believe her, but what would drive a woman to such a desperate act? Whose voice? What evil?
Although the Joe O’Loughlin books can be read in any order, Shatter is the third in the series after The Drowning Man. The next in the series is Bleed for Me.
And if you’re looking for another jaw-dropping thriller from Michael Robotham that will make you think and feel, don’t miss his brand-new book Storm Child.
