What to expect

‘This fast paced, electric thriller races from page to page and keeps you guessing until the very end’ NetGalley review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

He knows your name. Where you live. The car you drive.

If you don’t play, your family will die. If you lose, you will.

When DI Joel Norris and DS Lucy Rose begin investigating the death of a young woman, murdered on a quiet country lane, they can’t imagine what lies ahead.

This killer uses his victims like chess pieces in a life-sized contest, with the highest stakes imaginable.

Now Norris and Rose are pawns at the mercy of a twisted rulebook.

Can they beat him at his own game before the next round begins and more innocent lives are taken?

A totally addictive, edge-of-your-seat, crime-thriller that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter, Ian Rankin and Stuart MacBride.

Critics Review

‘Fast paced thriller that opens with a terrifying bang and doesn’t let up until the last page… Charlie Gallagher has crafted a twisty thriller that oozes fear and foreboding. His real-life experiences as a police detective shine through in the details and his skill as a writer are evident from the first page to the last. A great thriller that will have you reading through your fingers!’
