by Michael Hambling (Author)
A brand-new British crime mystery set on the Dorset coast from bestselling author Michael Hambling.
Meet Detective Sophie Allen. She's an expert on murder and violent crime. Her brilliant mind works tirelessly to put the most vicious criminals behind bars, but conceals dark secrets from her own past.
A dark, wet night on a lonely road in west Dorset. Bryony O'Neil stops her car when she spots a distressed young woman by the side of the road. But all is not as it seems . . .
The following day, keen rambler Robin Pryor sets off along the clifftop path from the pretty seaside town of Lyme Regis - and never comes home.
The subsequent search reveals a badly beaten body hidden in the undergrowth beside the path.
It's the third time that week the police have been called out to the quiet little town. First an attempted car-jacking. Then a break-in - where nothing was taken. And now murder.
Detective Barry Marsh's instincts tell him that a particularly callous killer has descended on his patch. And their timing couldn't be worse. His boss and mentor, Detective Sophie Allen, is still in hospital, recovering from the injuries she sustained in their last case. Not that she'd let that stop her!
Then a second body is discovered, a few miles further along the coastal path. And the case takes a terrifying new twist . . .
Discover a captivating crime mystery which will have you gripped from start to finish.
If you like Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, J.D. Kirk, J.M. Dalgliesh, or Pauline Rowson, you will love this thrilling crime mystery.
