Suspense | Mystery Police Procedural
Newly arrived detective Frank Bennett meets his partner
Eden and finds himself thrown into a serial killer case.
Twenty bodies are found in metal boxes in the ocean when a
man who has been chained to one of the boxes escapes. The
police soon realize that they have a killer who is taking
body parts from his victim and passing them on to those in
need of transplants. This killer is not acting out of
kindness but out of some sick need to play God.
Frank knows something isn't right about Eden and her
brother Eric, but he is unable to figure it out and more
importantly they have a killer to catch. Little do they
know the killer already has another victim and things are
about to get even more difficult as the chase intensifies.
HADES is a dark, exciting thriller that draws you in from
the first pages and won't let you put it down. Candice Fox
tells the story in an intriguing way flipping back between
the past of Eric and Eden and their current lives as they
investigate the murders.
HADES is told from the point of view of the newly arrived
detective Frank Bennett and the serial killer, these are
brilliant points of view to tell the story from giving you
an insight into how their minds are working. The reader is
fascinated by the story of Eric and Eden, told from Eden's
point of view, but Frank being unaware of their past and
where they come from just knows they are strange. It
gives
the story an intense feel.
HADES the first novel from Candice Fox and it is well
written and a great read. If HADES is her start I am very
excited to see where it goes from here.

SUMMARY
Twenty years ago, two children were kidnapped and left for
dead.
Raised by a master criminal, they grew up to become cops.
Very unusual cops . . . Homicide detective Frank Bennett has an intriguing new
partner. Dark, beautiful, coldly efficient, Eden Archer is
one of the most enigmatic colleagues Frank has ever worked
with—that includes her brother Eric, who’s also on the
Sydney Metro police force. All of them are tested to the
core when a local man discovers a graveyard of large steel
toolboxes lying at the bottom of the harbor. Each box
contains a grisly trove of human body parts. For Frank, the madman’s clues are a tantalizing puzzle.
For
Eden and Eric, the case holds chilling links to a scarred
childhood—and a murderous mentor named Hades. But the true
evil goes beyond the bloody handiwork of a serial killer…
