Items related to The Dispossessed
Bled to death and left in a rubbish bin, the teenaged prostitute is just the first victim.
DI Jeff Rickman's investigation into the Afghan refugee's sordid death leads first to the heart of a community who can't - or won't - talk to him. Then the investigation comes home to Rickman's own private life. As the body count starts rising he is framed for a crime he didn't commit. A murderer is trying to make things personal. Very personal.
Is he on the trail of a serial killer? Or something even more sinister?
THE DISPOSSESSED travels deep into the heart of Liverpool's underworld. It is the strongest, most suspenseful and hardest hitting thriller this brilliant storyteller has written yet.
