When the body of a man is washed up in the river, Turtle Island, Missouri awakes from being a peaceful haven and is thrust into the attention of the national media. The case is solved too conveniently and F.B.I agent Georgina O’Neil is left with severe doubts—have they caught the right man? A feeling that is justified after Case Detective Montoya and his family are kidnapped and a web site is set up promising America its first live execution. Turtle Island is now thrust into global spotlight and the world gets to vote on who the killer will choose next. As O’Neil digs deeper she finds evidence of a pedophile ring that could run into the heart of the police. No longer sure who they can trust, Agent O’Neil and Detective LaPortiere have to find the Montoyas and save them before an 8 pm deadline. The clock is ticking...

Born in East London in 1962. Darren's first writing success came in the mid 1990's, winning first place in a short story competition for a BBC Radio 4 arts program. The thrill of hearing his words read on Radio 4 drove him to write short stories of a dark and quirky nature before progressing to lengthier works. Darren then crafted his first novel ‘Turtle Island’, a crime thriller, which was picked up by an American publisher. Darren is now a seasoned author with another novel, ‘Tripping’, a surreal black comedy described as chick-noir, published. The sequel to Turtle Island is now completed, entitled ‘Dark Country’, and a fourth novel is in-progress which is another stand alone book outside of his series of Georgina O’Neil crime thrillers.
