When a Killer Strikes

'Boss, we've got a body...'

Hardly what Detective Inspector Jack Dylan needs to hear on his day off, especially in the middle of house-hunting with his wife, Jen. Detective Sergeant Vicky Hardacre greets him at the scene, and what awaits them behind the blood-red door of Colonial House is undoubtedly a murder.

Dylan is quick to identify several prime suspects but before the killer can be caught, another body is discovered, half-rotted and abandoned amongst the discarded food within a waste-bin shelter.

Are the two murders connected? What is the link? Dylan must answer these questions and crack the case without bringing his work home. But as the pressure mounts, can Dylan uncover the truth before his own long-buried secrets come crawling out of the woodwork?

From the husband and wife team who are the storyline consultants to TV’s Happy Valley and Scott & Bailey, comes the next installment of the D I Jack Dylan series, perfect for fans of Peter James and Alex Gray.
