About This Book
Bestselling phenomenon Simon McCleave is back with a gripping, atmospheric new crime thriller series set on the Isle of Anglesey.
‘Knocked my socks off. McCleave knows how to leave you gasping for air. Absolutely thrilling!' International million-copy bestseller, Helen Fields
The beautiful Isle of Anglesey has been rocked by the brutal murders of three female students at a local college. DI Laura Hart is called in to track down the murderer – who the papers have dubbed the Anglesey Ripper – before he strikes again.
She quickly identifies a suspect but just as she is about to pounce, he slips through her fingers.
Laura and the Beaumaris CID must pursue the serial killer across the island in an increasingly dangerous game of cat and mouse – but he's always one step ahead of them. And soon, the hunters will become the hunted…
An explosive, edge-of-your-seat read that's perfect for fans of LJ Ross, Ann Cleeves and Elly Griffiths.
