ONE FATAL MISTAKE

An ordinary man. A terrible mistake. And a world of lies and danger

Ryan Murray seems to have the perfect life – a loving wife and son, a great job as English Professor at Trinity College in Dublin and a blossoming second career as a writer. But all that changes when he finds one of his students, Nikki Shaw, dead in her home. Panicked and scared, he flees the scene, convinced that someone is trying to set him up for murder.

In a race against time, Ryan tries to clear his name, protect his family and uncover the truth about Nikki's death but it's not long before his own secrets come to light and his life is hanging in the balance

Perfect for fans of Steve Cavanagh, Linwood Barclay and T M Logan, this pacy and gripping debut has all the hallmarks of a great thriller – a fallible but likeable central character, a great setting and plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader (male or female) hooked to the final page.

J B Kennedy is Irish but currently lives with his wife and son in Texas. This is his first novel and he's already planning a second, standalone thriller set in Dublin. I couldn't put this novel down and I'm pleased to tell you that John is a joy to work with editorially.
