The Bellingham Experiment by Gary Crookes

Classification: Thriller.

Howard Schubert is an ordinary guy doing an ordinary job. Living in a small town in the American North-West, he is happy and contented, married to his loving wife Jillie. But that is his life as he believes it to be, not as it really is.
His blissful life is interrupted by the arrival of a stranger; a nervous but persistent character who claims that the truth is not what it appears to be.
Follow the desperate struggle of Howard Schubert as he fights to take his life back from the state, not knowing whom he can trust or where he can hide.
Suspense, intrigue and heart-racing action fill the pages of this psychological thriller as the central character is thrust unwillingly into the role of moral crusader, trying to right the wrongs that have been done to him by the faceless, morally corrupt state.

The DNA Murders by Gary Crookes

Classification: Thriller.

A serial killer is being hunted down. The FBI are on the trail but they are consistently outmanoeuvred by the murderer who has no fixed abode and leaves no trace of his passing except the bodies of his victims.
This murderer is special, however. He is a genius. He has found some way to alter the DNA of a person already matured. His murders are in effect his laboratory experiments, and his grotesque results steadily improve with time.
The capability of this genius has not gone unrecognised by either the government, nor a drug conglomerate which has somehow become aware. Unbeknown to the FBI agents assigned to the case, their every move is being watched as the hunt for the murderer takes on a multi-faceted character.
The hunt takes a turn for the unexpected when the murderer escapes the US and heads to Britain. The troupe follow, and there the different elements combine to an explosive climax as the wolves fight each other over the murderer and his victim.
