PRAISE FOR BONEHEAD:

'As shocking and sinister as anything Hayder has written. It is an unexpected, bittersweet treat to be back in the hands of one of our very best crime writers' Observer

'Hayder was one of the UK's most accomplished crime writers, and her final book, Bonehead, proves to be among her most memorable' Financial Times

'Bonehead is a triumph, with Mo Hayder's customary sleight of hand, attention to detail, and brilliantly authentic character creation. It perfectly wraps urban myths within the frailty of men's follies, and weaves a tale that unfolds piece by piece until you can bear it no more and rush through to the final, extraordinary pages. If this had to be Mo Hayder's legacy, then it's a fitting one. I inhaled this book' Helen Fields, author of The Institution

'Deliciously dark and horrifying, perfectly balanced and plotted. Stayed with me long after I'd finished reading' Catherine Cooper, author of The Chalet

'A rivetingly dark read; I was sucked in by its python-like coils and taken somewhere very dark; I ended up racing to the end, knowing something terrible was coming. A powerful story with memorably characters, not least the glowering forest, and a terrific back story' Jane Shemilt, bestselling author of Daughter

'Mo Hayder's final hurrah is truly chilling, a dark and gripping read that left me guessing at every turn. I'm privileged to have received this very special read' Natalie Chandler, author of What We Did

'This is everything you expect from a Mo Hayder: a little bit weird, a little bit nasty, with characters you love from the off. Creepy as hell. And an ending that made my blood run cold' Sam Holland, author of The Echo Man
