What to expect

The latest stunning novel by bestselling author David Mark, perfect for fans of Val McDermid and Peter Robinson.

'Dark, compelling crime writing of the highest order' Daily Mail

Hannah Kelly has been missing for nine months. Ava Delaney has been dead for five days.

One girl to find. One girl to avenge. And DS Aector McAvoy won't let either of them go until justice can be done.

But some people have their own ideas of what justice means...

DEAD PRETTY is the stunning new novel from one of Britain's most original crime writers.

(P)2016 Hodder & Stoughton
