Slaughter of Innocents
(2021)(The first book in the DCI Garrick Crime Thriller series)
A novel by M G Cole
DCI David Garrick is haunted by the past—and it’s about to cost more lives.
Still scarred by his sister’s brutal murder and tormented by visions he can’t explain, Garrick is barely holding his team together when mutilated bodies begin appearing in Kent’s picture-perfect villages. Each corpse carries the same grotesque signature: a trophy carved from the victim’s flesh.
As Garrick digs deeper, he uncovers a hidden world of human trafficking and organised crime festering beneath the county’s idyllic surface. But with the death toll rising and no clear link between the victims, one terrifying question remains: is he chasing a lone killer—or something far worse?
From acclaimed screenwriter Andy Briggs (writing as MG Cole) comes a gripping debut crime thriller that rips the heart out of the ‘Garden of England’ to expose its darkest secrets.
A Slaughter of Innocents is perfect for fans of Peter James,JD Kirk, Rachel McLean, and Ann Cleeves - an unflinching psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page.

PETER JAMES, author of the bestselling 'Grace' novels.
"Dark, grim, tense. A compelling new voice."
PAUL FINCH, author of the Detective Mark Heckenburg novels.
