Overview: ‘Hartmann – Malicious Rules’, Book 1 of the Hartmann Thriller series, is set in London in the swinging sixties. It chronicles Dr. Julian Hartmann’s search for his 16-year-old son, Sam, who is missing against the backdrop of the Thames Butcher murders.
In December 1966, a dismembered body is discovered by children playing on the Thames shoreline by Execution Dock. It’s the fifth victim of the Thames Butcher, and London is gripped with fear by the horrific murders.
When Dr. Julian Hartmann, a lonely 34-year-old bachelor with suppressed memories of childhood abuse, bumps into an ex-girlfriend and lost love of his life, Lizzie, she tells him he has a 16-year-old son, called Sam. Julian, although initially shocked, quickly bonds with Sam and he’s overjoyed to have a son but his joy is short lived when Sam goes missing in London. Desperate to find Sam, Julian leaves his hospital job in Hampshire and moves up to London to search for him fulltime.
Meanwhile, the growing media panic about the Thames Butcher murders escalates after the police disclose that all the victims are young men and that it may be a homophobic crime. The homosexual community, already discriminated against and persecuted by the police, goes into a spiralling panic. And Julian’s search for his son takes a sinister turn when he discovers that his son frequents the Coleherne, a known gay pub in Earls Court, to earn money for drugs.
When Julian, coincidentally, meets the prime suspect for the Thames Butcher murders, John Erikson, at the Coleherne, he’s pressured into helping the police gather evidence against him. Erikson, a known homosexual with a criminal record for violence, is immediately attracted to Julian, and introduces him into London’s seedier side; a world of illegal drugs and porn. But Julian will allow nothing to deter him from finding his son, and that unrelenting desire leads to a terrifying ordeal and right to the brink of hell . . .
