Out now on Kindle and in paperback. IMPLANT a murder mystery by RAY CLARK


Out now on Kindle. DI Stewart Gardener returns in IMPLANT, a murder mystery by Ray Clark. 

Just 99p/99c for launch. FREE with KU!


A ruthless criminal is picking off the inhabitants of a Yorkshire town. As the methods increase in cruelty, the pressure on the police mounts.

A police constable ventures out in the middle of the night after a report about suspicious activity at a hardware store in a small town.

The light is on, but no one seems to be around. Just a ringing phone that will start a manhunt.

When DI Gardener turns up to investigate further, he discovers a man in some difficulty. The kind of difficulties you experience when you’ve been screwed, crucifixion-style, to a wall.

With the unfortunate victim – the nephew of the hardware shop’s owner – beyond help, the town is put under lock down. And every possible suspect, including the uncle, brought in.

This is not an isolated incident, and the killer has more in store. The detectives are soon led to another situation where a woman is perilously close to death. So close that it’s a matter of millimetres.

Getting further in the case will require careful inspection of the crime scenes and the murderer’s torturous methods. In fact, they have been taunting the police by leaving a strange calling card. But only by working out the motive will DI Gardener catch the cruel killer.

IMPLANT is the third murder mystery by Ray Clark to feature Detective Inspector Stewart Gardener. It can be enjoyed on its own or as part of the series. Look out for the other two books, IMPURITY and IMPERFECTION, available FREE with Kindle Unlimited and in paperback.

Introducing the first book in a gripping murder mystery series by Ray Clark.

A murder with no weapon or motive. A detective on edge. A community that wants answers.
One fateful night when off duty, DI Stewart Gardener intervenes in a street brawl and his wife is shot dead.

Trying to come to terms with this, he gradually returns to normal duties policing the streets of Leeds. Finding his wife’s murderer is never far from his mind, but with no leads and a hazy recollection of events, it seems hopeless.

Soon he is presented with a shocking case. A man is found dead in a grubby apartment, having been killed in the cruellest of ways. It is not long before another man meets the same fate.
The deaths are caused by a rapid and violent disintegration of the victims’ flesh. Pathology cannot ascertain the cause.

The only connection between the victims is they both worked seasonally as Santas, dressing up as Father Christmas and entertaining kids in grottos and such like. Who would want to kill such innocuous men as these?

The detective is flummoxed. The local community is ruffled. The press is having a field day. The top brass wants answers. Can DI Gardener overcome his grief and solve the case?

IMPURITY is the first in a series of six books featuring Leeds based Detective Inspector Stewart Gardener. They are all murder mysteries but as suspenseful as the best thrillers. FREE with Kindle Unlimited. Look out for the next in the series, IMPERFECTION, coming soon on Kindle.
If you like crime fiction that has you glued to the page and reading late into the night, this is the book for you!
