  Following DS Drew Richmond’s death, Hannah Bryant started an initiative where five other women came forward, all claiming to have suffered sexual assault by Drew. He was publicly named as the rapist of all the women on the list.

  Police were unable to locate Isaac Dawes, the officer in charge of Danny and Michael’s witness protection. His whereabouts are currently unknown.

  Jake, along with Stephanie, is looking forward to meeting the next additions to the team.

  The identity of The Cabal remains unknown.

  Amazon lists millions of titles. Eight, to be exact. And I’m glad you discovered this one.

  But if you’d like to know when I release a new book — and everything in between — rather than leaving it to chance, then sign up for my newsletter. You’ll also receive a Jake Tanner starter library containing a couple of short stories, too.

  Yes please - sign me up!

  No thanks - I’ll take my chances!

  Enjoy this boxset? You can make a big difference.

  Here we are. The end.

  Well, I say “we”… I mean you. Thank you.

  Thank you for getting this far and sticking with me as I conjure up these greatly wild and bizarre stories in my head, and then later translate them to paper (or rather, digital files).

  Amazon is littered with millions of books (literally, and I don’t use that term lightly), and so it’s often difficult to find your next read. You just want to know which book to dive into next. But sometimes you don’t have the time to sift through them all, so what do you do?

  Look at the reviews, of course.

  We use them in every aspect of our life, don’t we? Restaurants. Films. Our next television set. Pair of headphones. Almost everything is governed by the thoughts of other people.

  Crazy, isn’t it?

  But what happens when you come across a book with no reviews? You might shy away from it. It’s difficult to trust the book.

  Your time is precious. Your time is valuable. You don’t want to be wasting it on disappointing stories. Nobody does. And I don’t want that for you.

  Sometimes I worry the same thing might happen to this story. But there’s a solution.

  A review goes a long way. And it gives me the confidence to continue crafting the crazy thoughts in my head — one day of turning this dream into a full-time career.

  So, to help new readers discover the books, and to you reading more of the same, please consider leaving a review.

  Thank you.

  Your Friendly Author,

  Jack Probyn

  ABOUT JACK PROBYN

  Jack Probyn hasn’t experienced the world. He’s never even owned a pet. But he’d like to; there’s still time. His twenty-two years on the planet have been spent in the United Kingdom, with a few excursions overseas — a particular favourite of his was Amsterdam. Or Norway. Both of which were lovely.

  But what Jack lacks in life-experience, he more than makes up for in creative ingenuity. His Jake Tanner series is the birth child of a sinister and twisted mind, and a propensity to assume the worst will happen in even the most mediocre situation.

  Finding himself pigeon-holed as a millennial, Jack decided to stick with the stereotype and do things his own way. After all, he felt entitled and he wanted to destroy industries.

  Enter: writing.

  The love of writing was rekindled in Jack’s life when he (briefly) entered the corporate world, and the passion snowballed from there. No more will the millennial writer find himself working 9-5, indulging in the complexities of business life, or wearing a M&S suit.

  He will take the world by storm with his pen(keyboard) and his ability to entertain and enthral readers.

  Why not join him (and his future dog)?
