The Award Winning
Thessalonians IV
By Chris Dean
Book II in the Tuck Box Trilogy

“Truly a virtuoso piece of writing” Juliet Burton
Thessalonians IV picks up from Tommy’s Tuck Box at full pace. Tracey Brown, now calling herself Amelia Reed-Stanton, known on the streets as the Fox, is being hunted by the underworld; drugs lord Kelvin O’Shea, disfigured in an attack by her firm, has put a £100k contract out on her. But the Fox is enigmatic, being a provincial operator she is completely unknown in town.
London’s gangland is in a frenzied clamour for her pelt. Book I of the trilogy, Tommy’s Tuck Box concludes with a cliff hanger as she blunders into a gangster’s trap.

London’s underworld is controlled by four mobs who have no love for each other and less for outsiders. The arrival of the Fox puts them at each others throats but Steel’s yardy brotherhood that finally track her down.
Steel is fascinated by this little out-of-town white girl that can cause mayhem in gangland; how much further could she have gone if she’d been part of an established operation? Steel sees the Fox as a prize: an enigmatic trophy in the underworld. But she needs to find new levels of courage and ingenuity to survive in his world.
Amelia, and the runaway waif Gemma that she is mentoring, are in accute jeopardy throughout this book. Her blackmail victim, brigadier Ellingham has employed an ex SAS assassin to deal with her: history is repeating itself; Detective Inspector Rowe of Hertfordshire Police is also closing in on her firm.
This is a racy thriller both in pace and content with great sex and chilling violence. It has ‘wonderfully crafted blackmail relationships’ giving respite from the intensity of the escalating and ever more complex web of underworld threats.
Dramatic police raids see rival factions at each other’s throats in prison but two separate escapes see the drama spilling back onto the streets of London. The story builds to an explosive and exhausting denouement which writhes with twists and surprises delivering the conclusion to the first two books of the trilogy. 95386 words.
Book III of the trilogy, The Sandman, picks up at the aftermath. Lovers of these great adventures will be pleased to learn that spin offs from the trilogy are to be published here shortly
