Hit and Run

Read Hit and Run Storyline:

Detective Inspector Stella Cole was a rising star in London’s Metropolitan Police. Then a hit-and-run driver killed her husband, Richard, a human rights lawyer. Grief drove her to booze and pills. Back at work after a year’s compassionate leave, Stella secretly re-investigates his death and begins to suspect a cover-up.
Freelance journalist Vicky Riley was working with Richard to expose corruption buried deep inside the legal system. Unaware that powerful people are out to stop her, she contacts Stella.
Vicky’s research confirms Stella’s worst fears. The people who should be upholding the law are turning it on its head.
Stella thinks she’s closing in on the truth. Then a horrific discovery threatens her very sanity. What began as a search for justice is now a raging thirst for revenge.

Condor



“Oh! I love this series. Gabriel's latest excursion dealing with terrorism and a religious cult is thrilling from the very first chapter until the last. Andy Maslen has created a gem of a character and I hope it won't be too long before I get the chance to continue reading about him. I love out of nowhere how the plot develops and surprises. No spoilers from me. Just go ahead and read for yourself. You won't regret it!”

“Don't start reading this book unless you are willing to put everything else on hold, because once you start you won't want to stop! This is so full of fast paced action my kindle actually felt heavier! Gabriel Wolfe is back in this third book and no holds are barred. A superbly told story that I didn't want to end.”

About the Author
Hi. Thanks for stopping by my Amazon author page. I’m Andy Maslen, creator of Gabriel Wolfe and Stella Cole. I’ve always loved reading thrillers, so when I took the plunge and began work on my first novel – Trigger Point – it seemed natural to me to follow my heroes. A lot of my readers ask me if I have ever served in the military. I haven’t, but I have some close friends who have. They’ve been incredibly generous with their time (and patience!), explaining how things work, from weaponry and materiel, to the everyday language and behaviour of soldiers. There are tons of people out there doing varied and interesting (and sometimes dangerous) jobs. As an author it’s fantastic to be able to contact them and find they’re only too happy to discuss their work. I’ve interviewed murder detectives, pharmacology professors, military planners, movie fight arrangers, Special Branch officers … and they’ve all shared invaluable details to bring my stories to life. I hope their contributions increase your enjoyment of my books. In my time, I’ve worked in a record shop, as a barman, as a door-to-door DIY products salesman and a cook in an Italian restaurant. I eventually landed a job in marketing. I always try to take away something positive from any experience, and often find a memory will surface of a situation I’ve been in, or a person I’ve met. Tyton Press I created the Tyton Press imprint to publish my fiction. My non-fiction works are published by Marshall Cavendish and Kogan Page. The logo, drawn by Darren Bennett, is a barn owl, the scientific name for which is Tyto alba.
