A GRIPPING DCI KETT CRIME THRILLER FROM THE #1 BESTSELLER

'Fresh and ferocious' James Patterson

Monsters can come in all sorts of disguises.

When a young woman is brutally murdered in the Norfolk countryside, the locals blame Black Shuck, a legendary wild dog. There’s only one problem: the wounds weren’t made by an animal.

DCI Kett is battling a black dog of his own. With his wife still missing, and the injuries from his last case leaving him in constant pain, everything seems impossible – not least looking after his three young children.

But when a second body appears, even bloodier than the last, Kett finds himself on a hunt for one of the most ruthless serial killers the country has ever seen. A killer who may be hunting him too...

A thrilling serial killer detective novel for fans of JD Kirk, Ian Rankin and Tim Weaver.
