Some sins can never be washed clean...

When a priest is found murdered at London's Winchester Palace, his body mutilated and tattoos flayed from his skin, Private Investigator Jamie Brooke knows this is just the beginning. As more bodies surface in Southwark's shadowy corners, each victim bearing distinctive ink, a disturbing pattern emerges—someone is hunting the marked ones.

Meanwhile, the borough's outcasts are disappearing: sex workers, artists, the homeless. When a close friend vanishes, Jamie must dive into a world where ancient sins collide with modern-day corruption. In this historic district where church and brothel once stood side by side, someone is trying to cleanse the streets of those they deem unworthy.

The only person who can help her uncover the truth is Blake Daniel, a reluctant psychic whose gift becomes both blessing and curse as he reads the darkness behind these deaths. Together, they must confront an adversary who sees themselves as a righteous force—someone powerful enough to remake London in their own image.

Perfect for fans of Mo Hayder, Tess Gerritsen, and Kathy Reichs, DEVIANCE is a haunting crime thriller that explores the thin line between justice and vengeance. This dark and twisting tale asks: who decides who belongs in a city's future, and what price must be paid for the sins of its past?

If you're drawn to atmospheric thrillers where ancient wrongs echo into the present and a determined investigator refuses to let the forgotten stay buried, immerse yourself in this compelling novel—and discover how far some will go to erase those they consider deviant.

The third book in the bestselling Brooke and Daniel series will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final, heart-stopping climax. Buy DEVIANCE now to continue this haunting journey into London's darkest spaces.

"I didn't think it was possible, but J.F. Penn has outdone herself with Deviance, the third instalment of the series. The book is one of the most sensual books I've yet read, but it never once dips into the lewd or even depict graphic sex. The book smolders on the embers of darkness and sensuality."

There's a masquerade ball

An interesting premise, but without the historical detail and emotional punch of the previous books.

The Masquerade Ball and all it entailed was the best part of the book. The end, with all the climbing, reminded me a bit of the film “Annie” where she climbed the train rails pursued by Tim Curry – all the fear included.

A bit more about Blake and his job and how the current museum exhibition correlated with where Jamie now lived and worked and what that loon Cameron wanted would have added a bit more colour. There was room to mirror Jack the Ripper and the modern-day skin stealer along with others who persecuted prostitutes and those with tattoos; could have added that zing of secret societies and sanctioned torture the previous books had. I think it goes back to my initial assessment.

Still, a thrilling tale. I’d like to know more about Blake’s family…
