Rat Trap: Inspired by True Events

Description

Inspired by the author’s own true crime experience, this gripping British crime thriller twists and turns to the last page.

July 2020, Simon Whitby was looking forward to his business re-opening after 3 months of lockdown. But no sooner had he welcomed his customers back in, thieves struck and virtually wiped out the business overnight. With his finances collapsing and little support from the police or insurance, Simon is forced to take matters into his own hands and deliver his own form of retribution on the person he believes was behind it. But Simon’s carefully constructed trap doesn’t go as smoothly as he had planned.

Seen through Simon’s eyes and that of his partner Georgia, this fast-paced revenge drama re-traces the dramatic twists and turns of his perilous and desperate plan to recover his business, his life, and his self-respect. Based on real events, this debut crime thriller shows James Rutter’s skill in crafting an exceptionally gritty debut novella that cranks up the tension with every chapter.
