THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER

The epic Welsh crime thriller fiction series featuring the much-loved DI Ruth Hunter.

A controlled gangland hit or a crime of passion?

A crudely dismembered body part is found at Lake Vyrnwy but DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans have little to go on to identify the victim. When a local man is reported missing, it seems that his links to heavy gambling and a Merseyside gang might explain his disappearance. Or could it simply be a marital dispute that made him want to leave town?

The missing man is spotted at several locations. Is he on the run and hiding out? Or perhaps there’s a darker explanation for the sightings…

A chilling police procedural full of twists. Perfect for fans of Neil Lancaster, Sarah Ward and LJ Ross.
