Reasonable Force
Category: Books
Reasonable Force is a tense and exciting psychological domestic drama. A thrilling story of deception, greed and corruption.
Nick Summers and his wife, Mel, are trying for a baby. Their plan, and all hope for the future, comes to a crashing halt when an intruder breaks into their home and Nick, in a panic, accidentally kills the man.
He confides in his neighbour and police officer Nathan Ballack, who advises getting rid of the body. What Nick doesn't know is that Ballack is a man with his own secrets. He is a cocaine dealer and addict, and lusts after Nick's wife. Was this a man Nick had any right to trust?
Nick's nightmare has just begun as a blanket of deceit and corruption descends over the Summers' house, pushing the couple's sanity to the very edge.
A fascinating exploration in into the politically sensitive area of self defence in your own home, and how far can we go, and what if we go too far? This is a cleverly crafted very dark tale. I'm sure that if the Coen brothers did their interpretation it would be a massive film; the unexpected turns made me gasp out loud.

Wow. The pace was unrelenting, the story line from start to finish was brilliant. This would make a great TV crime drama. This writer is seriously gifted and writes in a way that you can relate to. I look forward to your next book.

Someone told me about this book and i'm so glad they did, what a fantastic plot. Really well written and reminds me of Peter James . You really feel like you know the characters. Can't wait for CT Sullivan's next effort.
