Now many years later and still suffering from nightmares, he is faced with a copycat killer with detailed inside knowledge of the original case. Someone is crucifying politicians, and Castle and his partner DI Jacki Stone enter a labyrinth. At its centre is the man Castle believes was responsible for the first killings. He’s running a sinister cult and playing “I wrote Apostle Rising,” stated Godwin, “for every reader of crime and horror fiction out there. I wrote it for anyone who likes a guessing game. I wrote it for anyone who is interested in why crimes occur, and for anyone who likes a good novel, strong characters, a dramatic story and is interested in psychology.” Vincent Zandri, author of ‘As Catch Can’ and ‘The Remains’ stated that ‘Apostle Rising’ is a “noir tour-de-force that will leave you breathless and teary-eyed”. Scott Phillips, bestselling author of ‘The Ice Harvest’ said, “Richard Godwin’s ‘Apostle Rising’ is a police procedural and psychological thriller of the first order.
