An Unlikely Betrayal — Jack Probyn

DescriptionWhen a highly successful barrister and their family are mysteriously killed in their London home, Detective Jake Tanner is unexpectedly called to the scene. Inexperienced and out of his depth - and away from his desk - Jake soon learns there are more layers to the murders than he first thought. As he and his veteran colleague, Detective Ashley Rivers, delve deeper into the high-profile case, they are faced with another challenge: the eldest daughter of the barrister has gone missing. And if they want her back, there's a fee to pay. With time running out, Jake must use his varied knowledge of the law and human behaviour, and his vague understanding of the streets of London, to locate the killer and save the girl before the deadline, and her life, is up. An Unlikely Betrayal is the first instalment of the Detective Jake Tanner Crime Thriller series by Jack Probyn. Interview with the author, Jack ProbynQ - What makes the Detective Jake Tanner series special?A - A mix of things, I would say. When I first set out to write the books, I wanted something that would "Wow!" readers. I wanted to write something that is going to make them think, "What if that ever happened to me? What if I ever experienced something like that?" And so I mirrored the Jake Tanner series on something I would like to have read myself. It's like the old adage: "If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."And so, with this in mind, I set about making sure the Jake Tanner series has a bit of everything: there are some police procedural novels in there, crime thrillers, terror thrillers, kidnapping thrillers, and maybe even a few serial killer thrillers to keep things interesting! But all of them feature the big question: "What if… what if that ever happened to me?" And, once you've read them, you'll never feel the same way about certain things again. Q - Who is Jake Tanner most like? Can he be compared to any other crime thriller heroes
