About Sons of Brutality
An intensely suspenseful thriller centering around the investigation of the brutal murder of two young women by a serial killer, Sons of Brutality by Daniel Jeudy is decidedly dark but gripping.
Plumbing the seamy depths, the novel goes underground to find snuff clubs, drug-addled Satanists, occult murder, and the mob. Los Angeles is being bathed in blood as multiple sprees of vicious murders threaten to overwhelm a police department on the brink. Detective Addison Mowbray and his partner Jed are the tenacious sleuths on the hunt for answers, but as they bounce between leads, red herrings, and horrific new crime scenes, it becomes clear that something far more sinister is brewing in the City of Angels. As the trails of bodies begin to overlap, an even deeper evil reveals itself, pushing these veteran detectives, an eccentric medical examiner, and an entire city to the edge of madness.
The novel is a murder mystery at first glance, but there is an ocean of occult intrigue and social commentary lurking beneath the surface, and the contextual choices in this novel couch it as an allegory for our troubled times. Widespread social unrest and the increasing desperation of regular citizens are far from fictional, which makes it even easier for readers to immerse in this tense, pulse-pounding page-turner. Watching how evil forces can take advantage of instability for their own diabolical ends puts a fine point on the existential threats simmering within our own society.

Author Bio:
Daniel Jeudy is the alter ego for a former salesman, singer and shameless wanderer who spent his younger days living in the moment. His French father and Black Irish mother ensured books of every variety were always within arm’s reach throughout his childhood. Daniel strongly believes in the preservation of creative freedom, because there is already way too much vanilla in the world, right?
His first novel, Sons of Brutality, draws heavily on the situations he faced in smoke-filled spaces around the world in the 1990s and 2000s, the underworld culture he experienced while on tour in America, and a random vacation when he traveled alone to Moscow in 1998.
Daniel has written and collaborated on a broad range of musical projects. He lives in the Blue Mountains, Australia, with his wife Lilly, and their two American Staffordshire dogs.
Sons of Brutality is the first book in the Addison Mowbray series. The second volume will be available in 2022.
