Bloodstained Kings

"'Green River Rising', Tim Willocks's first success, was, as much as anything, a spectacular piece of cinema in print....Yet the book was also much more than this. Within this undeniably engrossing style Willocks also produced an investigation of the darker aspect of the human psyche....His new novel, 'Bloodstained Kings', contains the same dense psychological complexity; like is predecessor, it is turbulent and captivating reading."
At the same time Willocks has not lost his touch on the large canvas. His characters are again effectively genre stereotypes, although certainly none the worse for it. This time they are derived more from the crime thriller: the meltable ice maiden, the overambitious young city attorney and his seedy private dick sidekick, the huge, crazy-eyed, hooch-drinking pilot and the fast-adapting innocent, thrust into events against his best judgement. Many of these clichs are consciously employed by Willocks in his attempt to unravel the conventions with which we inure ourselves to the violence around us."Willocks, Tim is the author of 'Bloodstained Kings' with ISBN 9780812992410 and ISBN 0812992415.
