On a gloomy autumn night in a town near Glasgow, a baby disappears from its pram on the tenth storey of a tower block. Its mother, beside herself with fear and panic, glances down and then around. Something or someone clings to the concrete wall, lingers and disappears.

Reviews:

• This is my first foray into the dark world of Joe Donnelly, but it certainly won’t be my last. An unputdownable page-turner from first to last. Plot aside, the characterisation is superb; for a male author, Mr Donnelly has an un-nervingly accurate insight into the feminine psyche. The terror is only surpassed by the attention to detail and mood building tension. I look forward with eager anticipation to reading the rest of this deservedly award winning author’s output. A worthy addition to the roll of honor of horror writers from Wheatley to King et al.

• Shrike is the first of this author I’ve read and I was suitably chilled..!!. Unputdownable.

• Having been a fan of the way Stephen King USED to write I have been looking for another good horror story writer and Joe Donelly has proved to be an author I shall buy again.

Joe Donnelly, a former journalist, has previously published eight adult fantasy/horror stories (for RHPG and Penguin). He has an MPhil degree in American Studies. He lives in the west of Scotland. The Jack Flint books are his first foray into children’s fiction.
