Detective Inspector Andy Horton has a lot on his plate.
Trying to piece together a celebrity's bizarre threatening calls and a nursing home resident's frantic assault claim, Horton's instincts tell him there's more to it than a publicity stunt or senility.
Then, a man is found dead in Oldham’s Wharf—and several of his fingers are missing.
What begins as seemingly disparate cases quickly spirals into a deep web of deception and corruption that stretches back decades. A ruthless killer is on the loose—and Horton is deep in the crosshairs. Can he find his way back and stop a killer?
This absolutely gripping detective mystery is perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Joy Ellis, and Rachel McLean.
