READERS’ FAVOURITE – 5 STARS
“Angel Avenger: A Max Becker Thriller is hypnotic, a well-crafted story with great characters.
It has many strong themes and the prominent one is the quest for revenge for an age-old crime. Tim Wickenden does more than write a story: the author compels readers to follow the characters and to find out where the action takes them next. A pure delight for fans of crime thrillers.”
- Review from Lovereading.co.uk, April 2019
“Just finished Angel Avenger and I can honestly say that it's one of the best crime thrillers I've ever read. The characters are well-observed, the story moves at a good click and the plot is utterly gripping.”
Amazon Reviews, September – October 2019
Totally Engrossing.
Not all murders are committed by evil people.

September 1960. In the Spandauer forest Detectives Max Becker and Bastian Döhl, from the Berlin Kriminalpolizei, find a naked, tortured man tied to a tree. A cryptic message hangs from his neck. When another body appears, Max is sure it won’t be the last. The press dub the killer, Der Waldscharfrichter (The Forest Executioner) and graphic tattoos on the bodies suggest that the victims are Russians with a criminal past.
As more bodies and messages appear, they lead Max and his team to a horrific past event, wounds that run deep in the Berlin psyche, plunging Max into a conflict between his sense of duty and justice.
In this first thrilling Max Becker novel, meet the detectives that first appeared in 'Girl Hunter'. As compellingly researched as a Robert Harris novel and fast-paced as a Chris Ryan thriller, the world of Max Becker is never dull!
