Rules of the Game
(2022)(The second book in the Detective's Casebook series)
A novel by Stephen Knight
No one would believe him. The teacher and three of his accomplices had taken away his innocence at the age of twelve and from then had taken away his life. He felt ashamed and guilty. Nathan Hunter disappeared from life never to be seen again.
Forty years later, paedophile teacher Glynn Tonkiss is arrested for thirty-six distinct aspects of rape and sexual assault dating back as far as 1976. He is relying on the evidence of the three high-profile accomplices to lie under oath and prove that his accusers are nothing but ‘child fantasist.’ But one by one, his witnesses are disappearing.
The Police protect the defendant who now has a price on his head. He is being pursued two different unknown entities. Glynn Tonkiss is as frightened as his victims.
Glynn Tonkiss should be.
