Innocent Killing
註釋The Politician; a privileged and independently wealthy misogynist, ruthlessly ambitious and corruption personified. In a horrifying display of elitist arrogance and assumed cultural entitlement, he brings about, through gross indifference, the violent death of an innocent.The Bereaved; a peaceable, nature loving gardener, is denied justice by the governing elite and left powerless to slake a burning thirst for retribution.The Avenging Angel; enraged, resolute and driven by iniquity, unleashes a digital "Fiend" re-framing and redefining the roll of superficial celebrity in an increasingly capricious society. The Detective; sometimes bad tempered, often suspicious, but regularly normal. He lives with a woman he adores and is in possession of a strong moral compass. When two of his cases seem to overlap, the investigation leads him from the high profile, calculating corridors of London power to deepest Wales and bleakest Cumbria.With a supporting cast comprising a merciless assassin, a talented, insightful female junior detective, Scotland Yard's eccentric technical wizard and the politician's subjugated, abused and vengeful PA. Innocent Killing is punctuated with moments of compassion, tenderness and understanding, contrasted with base and brutal violence, chilling home invasions, public assassinations and crimes of woeful desperation.This fast paced, contemporary crime thriller evolves within the ever shifting bounds of the internet where moral and ethical guidelines appear to be eroding what is socially acceptable and what is legal. It relies on the rapacity of the modern consumer, determined to achieve their own ends, whatever the human cost; all in the face of socio-political and economic unrest.Cooper weaves a delicious tapestry of betrayal, corruption and revenge culminating in a savagely gratifying finale....10% of Authors profits will be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
