Synopsis

Get ready to be hooked by the eighth thrilling and atmospheric murder mystery from the million-copy-selling crime writer: DC Smith is ready to retire. But first, he must take one last look into the eyes of a serial killer...

'Pitch-perfect crime writing.' DAILY EXPRESS

'I read a LOT of murder mysteries and this series is one of the best!' ***** Reader Review

When fourteen-year-old Zoe Johnson doesn’t come home on a Monday night in early December, the alarm bells in Kings Lake Central police station do not ring straight away – after all, she’s from the Dockmills, one of the toughest estates in the town.

But for Detective Sergeant DC Smith, due to retire in just three weeks’ time, there are some strange echoes of the case that has haunted him for the past thirteen years. Maybe it’s simply his over-developed sense of irony, or maybe, in his final days as a police officer, Smith will once again come face-to-face with the worst criminal he ever put away.

‘Ensconced in Kings Lake, in the company of Smith and his team, I didn’t want to leave.' FINANCIAL TIMES
'The books are comforting, the writing is subtle and the plots are gripping.' THE TIMES
