See No Evil - David Fennell (Hardback) 28-04-2022

FOR THIS KILLER IT'S DEATH AT FIRST SIGHT . . . The brilliantly dark new serial killer thriller from one of British crime writing's freshest stars - perfect for fans of Chris Carter, Karin Slaughter and M.W. Craven. ______________________ Two men are found dead in London's Battersea Park. One of the bodies has been laid out like a crucifix - with his eyes removed and placed on his open palms. Detective Inspector Grace Archer and her caustic DS, Harry Quinn, lead the investigation. But when more bodies turn up in a similar fashion, they find themselves in a race against time to find the sadistic killer. The hunt leads them to Ladywell Playtower in Southeast London, the home to a religious commune lead by the enigmatic Aaron Cronin. Archer and Quinn suspect Cronin's involvement but his alibis are watertight, and the truth seemingly buried. If Archer is to find the killer, she must first battle her way through religious fanatics, London gangsters - and her own demons . . . ______________________ What your favourite crime authors are saying about David Fennell: 'A truly extraordinary crime novel' - LYNDA LA PLANTE 'A stunning start to a fantastic new series' - M.W.
