What do you think?
Birmingham has well and truly been put on the crime thriller
map with the success of the TV series Peaky Blinders but for bookworms amongst
us the popular Trail Series has long brought readers into the modern day 21st
century with its tense storylines, murder and intrigue set in and around the
city.
The Trail series features a vodka business, a cancer cure
and obsessive killers. Every book is a good read in its own right – each is a
great crime story with terrific twists to keep the tension mounting - but
together, they follow the same characters over several years.
The Trail series author AA Abbott also known as Helen
Blenkinsop, has been compared with the likes of Ruth Rendell, John Grisham and
Jeffrey Archer. She lived and studied in
Birmingham for nearly 20 years and her passion and love for the city became the
inspiration for the Trail series.
Now, after four successful editions the last storyline will
be revealed in the publication of THE FINAL TRAIL which is launched today in
Birmingham on 28th October.
Family feuds just got bloodier… A gripping thriller, and a
great story of death, revenge and vodka.
To save glamorous Kat White’s life, Ben Halloran killed his
gangster father. Now his brother wants to even the score.
The gripping Trail series of British crime thrillers reaches
its dramatic conclusion in this compelling page turner.
In the last book ..."Glamorous Kat White has built a
successful craft vodka brand in Birmingham, but she has an uneasy relationship with
her business partner, Marty Bridges. Her mother had previously supplied with
poisonous vodka. Marty doesn't trust Kat, resents having to depend on her for
commercial success, and isn't thrilled that his eldest son wants to marry her.
That's not his biggest problem, though. He's trying to develop a cancer drug
with Kat's brother, Erik, and it's draining money he doesn't have. Just as he
finds an investor with pockets deep enough to fund their research, Erik is
lured to the former Soviet Union and thrown into jail. Meanwhile, Ben Halloran,
who killed his father to save Kat's life, is faced with the twin risks of a
murder charge and his brother's deep-seated desire for revenge. Can Ben escape
with his life and liberty? And can Marty save both Erik and his business - and
learn to trust Kat?"
Helen said “I’ve been writing about these amazing characters
for over 5 years, so you can imagine, they have become a part of my life. It’s
been a great journey and they have come through so many storylines that it feels
right for them to achieve their dreams at last.”
Most of the action in THE FINAL TRAIL takes place across the
city and features the famous Rose Villa Tavern and 1,000 Trades in the
Jewellery Quarter; The Mailbox, home to the BBC in Birmingham, Holloway Head by
the famous Pagoda Island and locations in Harborne and Edgbaston.
Helen added “It’s going to be very sad to launch the last
book as the stories and characters have built up such a following but it will
give me the opportunity to weave new and exciting tales - I have so many ideas
buzzing in my head.”
THE FINALTRAIL is a perfect read for those who like a
fast-paced crime thriller combined with suspense, humour and plot twists. It’s ideal to take away on holiday and
provides a great read during the autumn/winter nights.
