THE DEVIL’S CUT

Philip Jordan
Works of: Fiction

Belfast is reeling.
A brutal strangler stalks the streets, their weapon of choice—a length of barbed wire torn from sectarian barricades. Each death serves as a grim reminder of fractured loyalties and reopens old wounds.

Detective Constable Charlie Whittaker is no stranger to darkness. Haunted by personal tragedy and drowning in whiskey, his grip on the case—and his career—is slipping. With the killer always a step ahead, the pressure to deliver justice mounts, but in a city where trust is as fragile as peace, Whittaker’s greatest adversary might be himself.

As the strangler closes in on their next victim, Whittaker must confront his demons and navigate a tangled web of betrayal, lies, and hidden motives. Can he find redemption in time to stop the killings, or will the Devil take a cut of his soul?

A gripping crime thriller set against the shadowy backdrop of Northern Ireland’s Capital city, The Devil’s Cut is a tale of obsession, redemption, and the thin line which separates justice and despair.
