"The trilogy ranks amongst the best I have read." - Amazon Reviewer. Last Gasp is the first in a series of dark, twisting crime thrillers featuring Northwest-based murder detective, DCI Jamie Carver, a man who knows that his tendency to get more personally involved in his cases than is sometimes wise can be dangerous, but is also probably the reason why he is so good at what he does - catching murderers and psychos. Last Gasp is also Book One in The Worshipper Trilogy, the introductory set of separate-but-linked stories that introduce Carver to the world and in which he locks horns with an adversary who is every bit as warped-but-memorable as Hannibal Lecter, or any other Serial Killer you may have come across.Over two hundred five star reviews. What Amazon readers are saying:- About Last Gasp:- "Absolutely loved this book from start to finish, kept waking up in the night and reading more and more each time. Brilliantly written, very real, plenty twists, a total page turner" "The twists and turns in the story ensure this book keeps you hooked from the first page to the last." "Loved, loved, LOVED this book! Couldn't put it down. Always left on the edge of my seat wanting (more like needing) to know what happened next! Just about to start book two and I'm quite excited!"About The Worshipper Trilogy:-"An intriguing series from start to finish. Robert F Barker has produced three page turners, that twist and turn and keep you guessing right to the end.""The best books I have read in years.""The suspense was electrifying. Read them all together for a thrilling ride into the mind of a serial killer. Looking forward to more DCI Carver"."The first two books in this trilogy were fabulous, this one, (Out Of Air) is magnificent"

About the Author:

Born in Liverpool, England, Robert F Barker served thirty years as a police officer and detective, most of it working in and around some of Northwest UK's grittiest towns and cities. He likes to write stories that are dark and edgy, but credible enough for the reader to believe they may be based on some sort of reality, which of course they often are. (Names changed to protect the innocent.. etc.). As a police officer, he learned that no matter where people live, whatever their position, they are never far from places where darkness dwells. Those places may be inner city sink estates where drugs are dealt and violence rules, or leafy suburbs where neat gardens and lace curtains conceal the sort of evil that no one ever imagines - until the worst happens.
As both a former Senior Investigating Officer and a Firearms Incident Commander, he knows all about the pressures police officers face, as well as what it means to have to make life-and-death decisions in the heat of live operations. Given his extensive experience, his stories are as authentic a portrayal of crime and policing as in any modern crime fiction. He splits his writing-time between his family home in Cheshire, and the beautiful island of Cyprus, where he gains inspiration for a series of Cyprus-based thrillers which he intends will compliment his UK novels.
