Meet Detective Anna McArthur. Back at work after being stabbed in the line of duty. And solving serious crimes in West Norfolk. The brand-new mystery from a bestselling author.

A violent killer. A detective who refuses to back down.

A year ago, a serial attacker murdered a young woman in King’s Lynn — and nineteen-year-old Sarah Paris barely escaped with her life.

The killer was never caught.

Now Sarah is missing.

She was last seen running near the quiet Norfolk village of Holme-next-the-Sea. The next morning, her car is discovered burnt out behind the King’s Lynn police station — a chilling message left almost on the detectives’ doorstep.

For Detective Anna McArthur, the case couldn’t be more personal. The same attacker once left her fighting for her life.

Now Anna and the Serious Crimes team must uncover what happened on that deserted stretch of coastline.

They are in a race against time to save Sarah. And if the killer really has returned to finish what he started, Anna may be next . . .

A chilling, character-driven mystery set in the stark beauty of rural Norfolk. Perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Elly Griffiths, and Ann Cleeves.

THE DETECTIVE
DC Anna McArthur is sharp, driven, and instinct-led — still haunted by the violent stabbing that nearly cost her her career. Now back on the Serious Crimes team, she’s proving herself with every case. But when her boyfriend DCI Aaron Burns is linked to a reopened cold case, Anna must walk a fine line between justice and loyalty. She's intuitive, blunt when necessary, and still called "Crazy McArthur" behind her back — but she’s no one’s fool.

THE SETTING
A windswept corner of rural West Norfolk: icy ponds, shuttered farmhouses, and quiet lanes hiding long-buried secrets. From the stark landscapes of the Wash to the historic streets of King’s Lynn, this is a place where silence holds power — and memories refuse to fade.
