MEET DETECTIVE NICKI HARDCASTLE IN THIS GRIPPING SUFFOLK-BASED CRIME SERIES.

One broken body. Seven missing teeth. A killer who’s only just begun.

Detective Nicki Hardcastle is supposed to be off-duty – midway through painting her living room - when the call comes in. ‘You might want to see this one, boss.’

Minutes later, she’s standing at the foot of a four-storey townhouse in the heart of Bury St Edmunds. A man lies impaled on a black iron spike, his body blood-soaked and broken

It appears Jacob Towers took his own life. But the details don’t add up. 

Why was the dead man carrying seven of his own teeth in his pockets?  

Then a chilling voicemail surfaces: “It’s time to pay for what you did.” Two days later, there’s another death. Just as sudden. Just as brutal. And once again – seven teeth.

Perfect for fans of Helen H. Durrant, Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, Angela Marsons and Rachel McLean, this twist-filled thriller will keep you hooked until the final jaw-dropping page.
