A brilliant new serial killer thriller from a hugely talented British author to rival the best from Mark Billingham, Peter James and Peter Robinson. When four Derby College students are reported missing, few in Derby CID, least of all DI Damen Brook, pay much attention. But then a film on the internet is discovered purporting to show the students committing mass suicide. If it's real, why did they kill themselves when they had such bright futures ahead of them?

The mesmerising new thriller from the highly-acclaimed author of DEITY, featuring DI Brook piecing together an extraordinary series of crimes spanning half a century...The Cold Case crime department of Derby Constabulary feels like a morgue to DI Damen Brook. As a maverick cop, his bosses think it's the best place for him. But Brook isn't going to go down without a fight. Applying his instincts and razor sharp intelligence, he sees a pattern in a series of murders that seem to begin in 1963.

A young student is kidnapped on her way home from the pub, but her nightmare is just beginning....

But then the bodies start turning up, and the case is blown wide open. Who is kidnapping these girls and why?

Even death cannot part these couples.... DI Damen Brook is on a rare period of leave and determined to make the most of it by reconnecting with his daughter, Terri.
