Fate's Shadow
(2026)(The fourth book in the DS Maddy Frost series)
A novel by Nic Roberts and Col Strebb
Some shadows watch. Some shadows hunt.
The bodies appear after dark. Necks punctured. Blood pooled beneath them on Whitby's ancient cobblestones. Detective Sergeant Maddy Frost knows what teeth marks look like, and these weren't made by any animal.
Reports flood in. A figure glimpsed between buildings. Movement in the alleyways where the streetlights don't reach. Always there, always watching, never quite seen.
The town is afraid.
Maddy follows the evidence, not the fear. Money debts. Old jealousies. The kind of motives that drive people to violence. But every lead circles back to the same question: who moves through Whitby's streets like they own the night?
The answer is closer than she thinks. And the shadow hasn't finished yet.
A chilling British crime thriller for fans of Ann Cleeves and Val McDermid.
Genre: Mystery
