The Demon Killer
(2021)(The seventh book in the DI Jack Dawes Mystery series)
A novel by Frances Lloyd
AN ENTHRALLING MURDER MYSTERY WITH A SHOCKING TWIST FROM A BESTSELLING AUTHOR.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, L.J. Ross, Brian Battison, J.R. Ellis, Roger Silverwood, Frances Evesham or Faith Martin.
The body of Sir Bixby Carrington is found naked and ripped to shreds on a tomb in Richington forest, with chalk pentacles drawn around him. There have been sightings of people in black hooded robes and a ‘beast of Kings Richington’. But, stranger still, the postmortem finds Sir Bixby’s horrific wounds were inflicted after he died.
When a second body turns up on the same tomb and in the same condition, rumours abound. Despite the mangled state of the body, Detective Jack Dawes dismisses the idea of a demonic beast. The team realise there’s something very dark and dangerous going on — and this attacker is entirely human . . .
SOONER OR LATER, WE MUST ALL FACE OUR DEMONS.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Detective Inspector Jack Dawes, tall and handsome, looks like the fuzz even when he’s off-duty. He rose up through the ranks at Scotland Yard and now is a well-respected detective in the murder squad. A career copper, he was married to the job until he met Coriander during a money laundering investigation, the case which earned him his promotion to DI. He has logical analytical skills. She has intuitive people skills. So he bounces ideas off her. They make a formidable and funny couple whose skills combine to solve crimes.
