Summary

How do you catch a killer who's already behind bars?

Thomas Austin was once a prominent NYPD detective, known for locking up a psychopathic serial killer dubbed "The Holiday Baby Butcher". Now retired in a small beach town in the Pacific Northwest, Austin runs a little café, trying to overcome the loss of his wife, a DA who was gunned down only one year ago.

But when a mysterious bag of bones appears on a nearby beach, Austin is dragged back into a world he thought he'd left behind. The Holiday Baby Butcher is behind bars, so it has to be a copycat.

But with each new clue, the killer seems closer and closer to the real thing. And when Austin finally learns the truth, it's a twist so shocking it shakes him to his core.

The Bones of Point No Point is the mesmerizing debut crime thriller from D.D. Black, perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Lisa Regan, JD Kirk, and Michael Connelly.

Brilliant.

I loved this book, It is the first D.D Black I have read and certainly hope it will not be the last. The characters are well developed and the story well written. An ex NYPD detective reluctantly drawn in to a murder and kidnapping 20 years after putting a murderer way discovers too many similarities for it to be coincidence. A Little predictable but exciting edge of the seat stuff from start to finish. All ably rounded of by superb narration by Joe Hempel, this is a definite must listen! **********
Cannot wait for the next installment.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the author and leave this honest and unbiased review. *****

The story grabbed my attention from the beginning.

Thomas Austin was once a police officer for the NYPD. Now retired and owning a café in a small beach town near Seattle, We have kidnapped baby killer. A copycat. The twists and turns of the clues showed a lot throughout and made it hard to put down

Brilliant story. Looking forward to the book in this series.

"A burnt toast taste of dread."

A killer who'd stolen and murdered babies. The man who'd put her in prison then left the police and New York, moving into the sticks to run a cafe and sell fishing bait. And then the killing started again
First in a new series featuring Thomas Austin, a recently widowed ex detective with a taste affliction which mirrors his emotions, this is one to look out for into the future.
Excellently performed by narrator Joe Hempel, this well written thriller was intriguing from the opening paragraphs to the very end. Recommended

Wow what a listen - absolutely brilliant

Just loved this, so addictive so well written so well narrated. What a dark mind to come up with this plot though, it was amazing but also believable if that makes sense.

I had several late nights whilst listening to this. I cannot wait to read/listen to anything more by this combination of author and narrator.

Brilliant story, excellent narration

This book has all the best of the genre standards. Jaded ex-detective, vicious serial killer, dogged reporter, twists, turns and shocks. Loved the story, great atmosphere and descriptions of Washington state in winter. loved Joe Hempel's narration brought the characters to life. I received a complimentary copy from the narrator and am leaving a honest voluntary review.
