What to expect

The case was closed. Until people started dying…

DI Thomas Ridpath was on the up in the Manchester CID: a promising detective who captured a notorious serial killer. But ten years later he’s recovering from a serious illness and on the brink of being forced out of the police. Then the murders began, in an uncanny echo of his first case.

As the death count grows, old records, and bodies, go missing. Caught in a turf war between the police and the coroner’s office, Ridpath is in a race against time. A race to save his career, his marriage, and innocent lives.

When a detective disappears everything is on the line. Can Ridpath save his colleague?

A nail-biting crime thriller, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Peter James and D. S. Butler.

First one of this author I've listened to. Wouldnt say a real physco thriller, but well written an well narrated. Unfortunately I worked out the killer half way through. Not sure if its due to listening, and or reading these type of books, that I've picked up ways to spot the main character. But overall enjoyed it. Yes i would recommend it
