One Bad Apple

The Trent Rivera Mysteries, Book 1

ONE BAD APPLE is an action-packed crime thriller that will appeal to fans of Lee Child, Vince Flynn and Mark Dawson.

Trent Rivera is an ex-soldier torn between dropping out of society and trying to atone for his past sins. His home: a dilapidated campervan. His companions: Rosie (a tabby cat), and the ghosts of his past.

When he arrives in the picture-perfect seaside town of Saltmarsh Cove, he’s intent on avoiding people.

But Trent Rivera doesn’t go looking for trouble. It finds him…A journalist has disappeared. A violent biker gang is operating with impunity. And, everywhere he looks, it seems darker forces are at play. Soon, Rivera finds himself embroiled in battling a brutal organisation whose reach stretches far and wide.

There are many of them, and only one of him.

Will he be enough?

Although the Trent Rivera novels can be enjoyed in any order, One Bad Apple is the first book in the series. If you enjoy crime thrillers, then this is definitely the book for you!
