Synopsis

THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER

The epic Welsh crime thriller fiction series featuring the much-loved DI Ruth Hunter.

A small-town. A deadly game. A detective on the edge.

A Llangollen farmer, Aaron Jenkins, is found shot and DI Ruth Hunter is called in to track down the murderer. The local community is rocked and whispers swirl about adultery: both Aaron and his wife were having affairs.

But when there are several more violent slayings, Ruth realises that the murders might be bigger than a domestic concern and these may just be the beginning of a long and bloody gang battle.

It’s not long before Ruth and her team are stuck in a lethal conflict with armed suspects, racing against the clock to prevent yet another cold-blooded shooting.

A page-turning detective thriller. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, JM Dalgleish, Rachel McLean and LJ Ross.
