MEET DETECTIVE NICKI HARDCASTLE IN THIS BRILLIANT NEW SUFFOLK-BASED CRIME SERIES. Three grisly crime scenes. Body parts strewn across the pretty market town of Bury St Edmunds. Detective Nicki Hardcastle tackles her darkest case yet. It’s a freezing December night when Detective Nicki gets the call. An elderly theatregoer finds his Dress Circle seat and receives the shock of his life: resting on the faded cushion is a pair of human eyes. Several hours later, a few miles across town, comes the second horrifying find. A severed human tongue. Then a worshipper at the cathedral is appalled to discover a human hand under the pew in front of her. One dismembered body - or three tortured victims? The pretty market town of Bury St Edmunds has never seen anything like it. Someone is playing twisted games with Nicki and her team - but only the killer seems to know the rules. Nicki is in a race against time to track down a brutal murderer - before more victims meet a grisly fate. Perfect for fans of Helen H. Durrant, Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, Angela Marsons and Rachel McLean.
