He is master of them all.

After years of searching, DCI Kett and the extreme crime task force have finally found Joseph Maynard—one of the last members of Hollenbeck. A psychopath of the highest order, Maynard’s violent and coercive nature has reared its head too many times in recent cases.

It’s time to end his reign of terror once and for all.

But the raid on Maynard’s lair goes wrong. By capturing him, Kett sets in motion a horrific chain of kidnappings—five innocent victims snatched from their homes in the same night.

Only Maynard knows how to save them, but it’s not just freedom he’s asking for in return. It’s something unthinkable.

Kett and the team must find Maynard’s victims before time runs out, because it’s not just their lives on the line.

It is Kett’s too.

The eighteenth instalment in the million-selling DCI Kett series takes the team into darker territory than ever before, tempered with the humour that fans have come to love. Relentless action, compulsive mystery and heartwarming comedy abound in the series that Thrilling Fiction calls "heart-stoppingly gripping!" from the author that James Patterson describes as "fresh and ferocious!"

Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His latest books, the DCI Robert Kett thrillers, have monsters in them too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between, he has published fourteen novels for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith—including the number one bestselling series Escape From Furnace, which is loved by millions of readers worldwide and which is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.
