Hand of Darkness (Ryan Kyd Thriller Book 2)

The Church of the Dark Light commands its followers to 'embrace the darkness' inside themselves. But after a beautiful young girl joins the cult, she mysteriously vanishes.

Her elder sister turns to private investigator Ryan Kyd to find out what happened to her.

Ryan suspects the church is a scam and holds little hope of his client's sister returning. So he gives the job to his assistant - the feisty and street sharp Carly.

But before long he is drawn into the cult’s world of beautiful people, high rollers, bent cops, Russian fixers, stolen guns and a politician with a sinister secret.

The action switches from the subterranean depths of the Church’s headquarters to a shoot out in the City of London. And as he digs deeper, Ryan discovers the 'Hand of Darkness' can reach everywhere...

Hand of Darkness is a follow-up to the best-selling Business Is Murder, featuring the private investigator Ryan Kyd.
