A brutal double murder. A traumatised little boy. Detective Jack MacIntosh tackles his most impossible case yet.
Detective Jack is standing at the graveside of his old friend and mentor, DCI Frank Tyler, when the call comes in. ‘Boss — we need you NOW!’
He arrives at a smart Richmond townhouse to a scene of unspeakable horror. There’s blood everywhere — soaking through the thick-pile rug, slashed across the curtains, sprayed across the ceiling. Two bodies lie side-by-side, next to the king-sized bed. They’re not fresh. They’ve been there at least two weeks.
Nothing adds up. A frenzied attack, yet meticulously executed. Carefully planned. No forced entry.
Then the most chilling discovery of all.
A six-year-old boy, hiding in the study. Clothes stiff with dried blood. Eyes blank. Silent.
Joshua is the only witness. And whatever he saw has trapped him deep inside himself.
Now Jack is in a race against time to unlock the little boy’s memories and coax out the truth — before the killer returns to silence Joshua for good.
Perfect for fans of Helen H. Durrant, Biba Pearce, Lynda La Plante, Angela Marsons and Rachel McLean.

THE DETECTIVE
Detective Inspector Jack MacIntosh is a dedicated police officer, the one person you would want to fight your corner. But he has been known to cross the line to get the job done. As a four-year-old boy he discovered his mother’s body swinging from a light fitting. Jack and his younger brother were taken into care — Jack did OK, his brother not so much. A bit of a loner, Jack has never married — although plenty of women would like to give it a shot. He lives in a charming mews cottage in central London. No one is quite sure how he can afford it on a detective’s salary.
Genre: Mystery
