What to expect
'The Norfolk series is Ross Greenwood’s crowning achievement - characters to root for, an intricate web of suspense, all set against a stunning backdrop. I can’t wait for more!' Wes Markin
When everyone is lying, how do you catch a killer?
A brutal attack at Fakenham Racecourse plunges DI Ashley Knight into the competitive world of horse racing, where fortunes are won and lost in the blink of an eye. As the investigation unfolds, a chilling discovery reveals a darker side to this glamorous sport. In these high-stakes arenas, where winning is everything and everyone has something to hide, a few are willing to cross the ultimate line.
Can Ashley, an outsider in a world of whispers and long-held grudges, unmask the murderer before they kill again?
Ross Greenwood is back with a brand-new, heart-pounding case for DI Ashley Knight!
What readers are saying about DS Ashley Knight and Hector Fade:

‘Ross Greenwood is great at the twist. I know you’re going to scream at me for using the ‘twist you didn’t see coming,’ but I really didn’t.’
‘The only thing I can say that was a disappointment about reading this book, is that I somehow missed the first one in the series... What a cracking read! I'm now off the find book 1! 5 solid stars.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘This is the second book featuring DS Ashley Knight… This is a cracking good thriller that pulls you this way and that and keeps you guessing… I've always loved everything that I have read by Ross Greenwood and this book is no exception.’
‘This was brilliant! So much going on throughout the book it was hard to keep up but so captivating till the end. Great story & characters. Loved it!’
'Another great read with so many twists and turns it's like you are in a police car travelling at speed along the winding costal roads of Norfolk'⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'Another cracker of a read from Greenwood. His characterisation is superb, and the plot line fast paced and scary. Just the thought of being buried alive… highly recommended as are all of this author's books, and made extra special by being set in beautiful Norfolk.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
