The professor discovers that his original theory was wrong, and now believes that the killer’s motive is far more frightening than he could have imagined. When her father disappears in Rome, Jessica, Foley’s ex-wife becomes involved with the manhunt. Together, the trio unravel a complex plot, and a list of suspects is suggested in a coded book by the professor. Interpol Captain Nino Bartoli becomes involved in the investigation, and suspicion falls on Foley. A horrifying sequence of global murders follow. A complex and terrifying book that will leave you guessing the identity of the killer.

Verified Purchase

This man knows how to draw the reader into his characters. Anthony Hulse builds the story, give good detail, then takes you on a roller coaster ride into antics and mayhem. Entertaining, fast paced, and totally readable stuff. Hulse does not waste the reader's time, but he might just make you wish you'd sipped some wine while taking the journey.

5.O out of 5 stars Loving Anthony Hulse  31 May 2014

By Anari (UK)

Another great read for Anthony Hulse. The identity of the deranged and sadistic killer is not revealed until the final pages. Pacy, absorbing, and with a few codes to crack. I loved this.

This review is from: Apostle of the Tyrants (Paperback)

Hulse’s method of storytelling keeps me spellbound. I soon forget that I’m reading a book, and find myself personally involved in the story. I love to accompany his characters and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells as I tag along. Apostle of the Tyrants is more than an action packed thriller. It’s a story of murder, terror, brutality, mystery, and romance, all wrapped up in an undercurrent of unspeakable horrors that are strong enough to spark the most worrisome of nightmares. The story contains an action scene that depicts an old woman, an old man (a farmer), and their dog…that is so poignant, I shall remember it for the rest of my life. Such is the power behind Hulse’s storytelling. Anthony Hulse once again proves his talent as a superior writer, by giving us Apostle of the Tyrants. I totally enjoyed every page of this book. However, I felt like giving Hulse a good swift “love/hate” kick to his backside, for writing such a brilliant ending to a thrilling story.

***** Could not put it down

By RNolen on October 30, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

The retired Detective Chief Inspector Dodd thought that the hunt was over for the horrible serial killer when they found the suspect hanging from the rafters with his latest slaughtered victim nearby. But then more victims were found. Which meant that the killer had a partner. But who could it be? One of his sons? When the family changed names and moved south to Cornwall to escape the media frenzy, more murdered girls began turning up nearby. When they went on vacation to Wales, another girl was murdered. Of course it must be one of the three sons, but who? The plot thickens and more suspects are added to the list. I could never determine who the perpetrator was. There wasn’t just the sons, someone in the police department with knowledge of the details could be copy-catting the murderer. Two police officers, including Detective Chief Inspector Dodd, become suspects for the reader. This is a fast-paced read. The suspense will not disappoint.

Anthony Hulse
Shadow Of The Redeemer.
This book will have you guessing to the very end,it did me. I guessed so many times that everyone was guilty and I still got it wrong. If your looking for a fast paced murder / mystery then look no further. As with all Anthony's books it is gruesome and very well written. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent thriller

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2024

Lots of interesting suspects in this one, and the ending left me slightly vexed, which might explain the reviews. But this author is excellent and he shows us the worlds of witness protection, family members who aren't quite sure of each other, and scurrilous characters who get drawn into investigating grisly murders. Well written as all of his are.
