Author meets fans at local library
A Cambuslang writer popped by his local library to help launch his new book last week.
Gavin Bell, who writes under the name Mason Cross, was at Cambuslang Library reading from his latest thriller Presumed Dead.
It is the fifth book starring Gavin’s creation Carter Blake, a man of mystery who helps find missing people.
The new adventure, which former West Coats pupil Gavin recently told the Reformer is inspired by serial killer novels, sees Carter given his most difficult task yet – as the person he is searching for was believed to have been killed years previously.
Adeline Connor’s brother is convinced she’s still alive, and wasn’t the last victim of the Devil Mountain Killer after all.
But many people in the sleepy American town where the killings took place don’t want an outsider digging up old business.
And as Blake gets deeper into the case, it starts to become clear that the murders didn’t just stop 15 years ago, and that the killer is on the hunt again.
Gavin’s previous books have been praised by the likes of Ian Rankin and Lee Child.
Presumed Dead is out now.
