Some truths are buried for a reason. Christine Woolfe is about to dig them up.

When two bodies are found shot dead on the streets of South London, Detective Inspector Christine Woolfe expects the investigation to be brutal. She doesn't expect it to lead her across Europe.

A woman has been tortured and murdered — her final moments streamed online for an audience of shadows. Two crimes. Two countries. One chilling digital fingerprint connecting them both.

Following the thread into a foreign city where allies are few and trust is a luxury she can't afford, Christine closes in on a suspect — only to discover she has barely scratched the surface. What lies beneath is vast, dark, and protected by people with the power to make investigators disappear.

As the net tightens around her, Christine is forced to confront questions that have no clean answers. How many lines is she willing to cross? How much of herself is she prepared to sacrifice? And when the powerful decide she knows too much, will the truth be worth the price?

Darkest of Webs is a taut, atmospheric crime thriller that plunges into the darkest corners of the digital age — where justice is fragile, corruption runs deep, and some secrets were never meant to see the light.

Perfect for fans of Val McDermid, Mark Billingham, and Simon Kernick.
