MEET DETECTIVE NICKI HARDCASTLE IN THIS BRILLIANT NEW SUFFOLK-BASED CRIME SERIES. Three grisly crime scenes. Body parts strewn across the pretty market town of Bury St Edmunds. Detective Nicki Hardcastle tackles her darkest case yet. It's a freezing December night when Detective Nicki gets the call. An elderly theatregoer finds his Dress Circle seat and receives the shock of his life: resting on the faded cushion is a pair of human eyes. Several hours later, a few miles across town, comes the second horrifying find. A severed human tongue. Then a worshipper at the cathedral is appalled to discover a human hand under the pew in front of her. One dismembered body - or three tortured victims? The pretty market town of Bury St Edmunds has never seen anything like it. Someone is playing twisted games with Nicki and her team - but only the killer seems to know the rules. Nicki is in a race against time to track down a brutal murderer - before more victims meet a grisly fate. Perfect for fans of Helen H. Durrant, Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, Angela Marsons and Rachel McLean.

A brutal killer who strangles young women and leaves their bodies strewn across London's parks. A killer who leaves his next victim's shoe beside the body of his last one. Detective Jack MacIntosh has seven days to find the truth. A young woman's body is discovered in Hyde Park. Wearing only one shoe. Close to the body, Detective Jack MacIntosh finds a black stiletto, diamante buckle glinting in the early morning sun. But it doesn't belong to the victim. Two days later, another young woman is found strangled to death in nearby Green Park. Wearing just one shoe - the matching stiletto. Hidden in the long grass beside the body, the police uncover a low-heeled court shoe. Detective Jack and his team are in a race against time to find the owner of the court shoe before it's far, far too late. At the same time, Jack is fighting demons of his own. Demons which rise up from the past and threaten to cloud his judgement just when he needs it most. Detective Jack is hunting a brutal killer. A killer who delights in playing cat-and-mouse games. Who will win this deadly battle of wits?
