‘A stunning debut. Twisted, tangled, and totally addictive. I'm hooked! ★★★★★’ —TJ Reid, Dark is the Grave
Because the pattern is changing. And this time, something is different. When DI Joseph Stone is called to investigate a series of disturbing events in Oxford, what begins as a routine case quickly spirals into something far more dangerous—something connected to a past Stone has tried to forget.
Sixteen years ago, one of those incidents led to the accident that killed Stone’s baby son. Now the pattern is escalating. And if Stone is right, it’s only a matter of time before the Midwinter Butcher stops practising… and starts killing for real.
The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: the Midwinter Butcher has been waiting. Watching. Planning something far worse than before. And if Stone gets it wrong… his daughter could be next.
Perfect for readers of Rhys Dylan, JD Kirk and British detective crime thrillers.
For readers who love Oxford crime, dark secrets, and relentless detectives.
