Seriously scary.’ Mark Billingham

Gemma Adderley is
finally ready to leave her husband, after years of suffering and abuse. She slips out the door and into the night, hand in hand with her seven-year-old daughter Carly . . .

What happens next is a puzzle that has Detective Phil Brennan baffled.

Next day, little Carly is found wandering the streets of Birmingham, helpless and alone. She grips her teddy, too traumatised to tell profiler Marina Esposito how she got there. Or what’s become of her mother.

But the gruesome truth will surface.

Now Gemma’s corpse is dredged from the murk of a city canal. Her heart’s been torn from her chest, leaving nothing behind but a gaping wound.

Who stole Gemma’s hopes of a new life away from her toxic husband?

Detective Phil must find the missing piece, before the Bone Thief strikes again . . .

A nerve-shredding British thriller for fans of Silence of the Lambs, Mo Hayder, Alex North, Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen and Karin Slaughter.

Please note, this book was previously published as
Heartbreaker.
