Synopsis:

A brutal double murder on a Norfolk beach horrifies the town of Cromer. The way the victims died is chilling and so Norfolk’s Major Investigation Team task DS Ashley Knight to manage the case.

It soon becomes clear that the murders were carefully planned and the finger of suspicion points to an organised crime gang, but as the evidence mounts, a far more sinister theory emerges. 

Ashley has been allocated a young but opinionated partner in Hector Fade, and sparks soon fly. Annoyingly for Ashley, Hector is no pushover and looks destined for great things.  When the pair delve into the case, they struggle to understand who would inflict such suffering on their victims and hope the crime is a one off from a deranged and dangerous individual. But then another body is found.

There’s a killer on the loose who must be caught, or other victims will meet their fate by the sea.



Review:

This books opens with a bang, and stays on pace til the end of the book! A great opener for a new series. Ashley has her quirks that go along with her experience, and getting stuck with a 'rush to the top' no experience rookie, isn't what she was hoping for. But as the murders progress, they quickly see that they can learn from each other, and push the other to rethink what is going on, and search for underlying clues. It's a fast pace, that will keep you reading late into the night, so be prepared! Another homerun from Ross!


About the Author:

I write two different types of novels. The first is a detective series set in Peterborough starring DI Barton which starts with The Snow Killer.

I don’t write cliches, so Barton is no unprofessional alcoholic. He is a family man, struggling with balancing his home life against the horrors of the job as he hunts down various killers. There is a strong team with characters you'll grow to love. There are also some dark scenes that will have your heart in your mouth and a fast pace to keep you interested.

The other novels I write are influenced by my time working as a prison officer. HMP Peterborough is the only prison in the UK which holds men and women, obviously in separate jails, but it meant I got to work in both environments. The differences were surprising, as was what these fearful places were really like. It was a tough job, with a steep learning curve.
