Killer on the Peaks
(2023)(The second book in the DI Jessica Ryan Crime Thriller series)
A novel by J F Burgess
He watches. He waits, until they are alone.
In the historic Staffordshire market town of Leek, Detective Jessica Ryan, a resilient single mother of two kids, faces life's challenges. It's taken four years to rebuild her family after her husband Darren suspiciously disappeared whilst working undercover for the National Crime Agency.
But when a body is discovered at the picturesque Three Shires Head, troubling memories resurface. A wealthy property developer’s murder shakes the popular walker's haven, thrusting Jessica into an intense investigation that may have links to her husband and organized crime.
Things escalate when a local councilor with a dubious reputation is found hanged at another popular walker’s destination, Lud's Church.
As Jess unravels hidden motives and fractured relationships, tragedy strikes her life when her teenage daughter Madeleine vanishes. Is there a link between her abduction, her husband's disappearance, and the two disturbing murders?
Jessica confronts her inner demons while navigating the barren Peak District moors.
Set against the stunning but treacherous landscape, this twisting crime thriller pushes Jess to her limits. Racing against time, she must unveil a cunning killer and save her daughter from a fate darker than nightmares.
Killer on the Peaks is the latest crime thriller from J.F. Burgess, the British author of the top-selling Detective Tom Blake murder mystery series, and is perfect for fans of Priscilla Masters, Mel Sherratt, LJ Ross, Joy Ellis, Rachel McClean, and Simon McCleave.
