As the owner/manager of a gym, life for Finn Maguire is mercifully quieter after the murderous events of CRUSHER.

Crusher

To catch a killer, Finn Maguire had to become one... 
The pulse-pounding debut thriller that everyone is talking about.

There are some fantastic action scenes, including a truly great escape and a visceral fight... The plot is cleverly worked-through with all sorts of twists and turns and paced for breathlessness and page-turning

I was addicted to this from the first chapter... The storyline is compelling, peppered with so many twists and turns that you will question everything, and has an amazingly explosive ending that you will not be expecting. Crusher is a fabulous debut from Niall Leonard that is definitely not to be missed!
