by Michael Hambling (Author)
Discover a series of British crime mysteries set on the Dorset coast from bestselling author Michael Hambling.
Meet Detective Sophie Allen, head of the newly formed Violent Crime Unit in Dorset. She is pushed to the limit in her first major case as the team's head.
On a cold November night, a young woman's body is discovered on a deserted footpath in a Dorset seaside town. She has been stabbed through the heart.
It seems like a simple case for DCI Sophie Allen and her team to solve. But not when the victim's mother is found strangled the next morning . . .
The case grows more complex as Sophie and her team begin to realize that each victim has secret histories, involving violence and intimidation. There's an obvious suspect but Sophie isn't convinced.
Could someone else be lurking in the shadows, someone savagely violent, looking for a warped revenge?
This totally addictive mystery is perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, J.D. Kirk, J.M. Dalgleish and Pauline Rowson.
