George Bracke Thriller #7 – And Then Nothing More

Book George Bracke Thriller #7 – And Then Nothing More

 George Bracke has every reason to enjoy life. His daughter Julie has just given birth to Saartje, making him a grandfather for the first time, and for once his family seems more important than police work.

But Ghent has other plans.

A violent bank robbery develops into a hostage crisis. Desperate criminals are on the run, while elsewhere in the city Greta — lonely, unpredictable and increasingly detached from reality — is fighting her own private battle against a world she believes has ignored her.

Then an even more dangerous figure returns from Bracke’s past.

Juan Botero is free.

The man whose name George hoped never to hear again has unfinished business. This time the confrontation is intensely personal.

As apparently separate lives and crimes begin to collide, George is drawn into a chain of events involving violence, obsession and desperation. What begins as another police investigation comes dangerously close to the people he loves most.

And Then Nothing More is the seventh George Bracke thriller, following Botero, Tango Mortale, Cold Fire, Kismet, Heavy Water and The Malt Mystery.

Set in and around Ghent, the novel combines police intrigue, psychological suspense, black humour and flawed characters with an increasingly personal confrontation between Bracke and a man who refuses to disappear from his life.

The novel can be read as a standalone thriller while continuing the wider story of George Bracke, his family and his colleagues.
