FIVE MISSING. THE HUNT IS ON FOR NUMBER SIX.
THE SERIAL KILLER
With five girls already missing and two dead police officers to add to the body count, the hunt is on. But how do you catch a man who doesn’t exist?
THE VICTIM
Held captive for months, Erica Shaw has now vanished. In the race to find her, the police uncover evidence that leave them wondering, was she ever actually a victim?
THE DETECTIVE
This isn’t DS Ali Green’s first murder case. But only recently recovered from her near-fatal injuries and battling some personal demons of her own, she’s out for justice.
One thing’s for sure. Not everyone is going to make it out of this alive.
Reviews
‘Hypnotic and chilling ― you won't forget this in a hurry.’ – Lee Child
'Creepy yet genuinely funny, I didn't like NORMAL, I loved it.'- Michael Robotham
Utterly compelling' – Jamie Mason, author of THREE GRAVES FULL
'Already on my top 5 books of the year … If you only read one crime book this year, I’d tell you to read this one. It’s so far from the ‘normal’ crime read, it’s utterly brilliant' – rebeccabradleycrime.com
‘Deeply creepy and very clever story told from the point of view of a nameless and rather charming, apparently “normal” bloke, who happens to be a serial killer. A cunning idea, well executed, if you pardon the pun’ – Heat
‘Blackly humorous …. This gripping tale leaves the reader feeling conflicted as they find themselves rooting for the killer. Normal marks Cameron out as one to watch’ Daily Express

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this tense crime novel from British author Cameron (Normal), Sgt. Ali Green of Norwich CID, seconded to the Major Investigation Team, goes on emergency leave after she's brutally beaten by an unknown assailant she suspects is the serial killer she's pursuing, Thomas Reed. Two months after the attack, Ali suffers bouts of memory loss and lack of mobility. When the car of one of two other detectives working the case, which has been missing since the incident, is found burnt out with at least one corpse inside, Ali returns to work. With this new evidence, the police resume their search for Thomas, who may be responsible for the disappearance of four girls in addition to the two detectives, now presumed dead. Meanwhile, Ali clashes with Kevin McManus, a colleague who was wounded during the same attack and realizes that Ali is trying to conceal her mental and physical limitations. The characters' psychological motivations ring true, and the action builds to a spine-tingling resolution. Readers will hope to see more of feisty, appealing Ali.
