SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. A unique novel that combines an exciting thriller and a true-crime series from Netflix. Will appeal to fans of Karin Slaughter, Claire Douglas and Lisa Jewell. Sometimes murder isn't the worst thing... Late October evening. Police arrived at a secluded house outside Oxford. There is the corpse of a robber, shot in the course of necessary self-defense. In any case, this is what the owner and his wife say. But there’s clearly something fishy here...Inspector Fowley doesn’t have a single clue to find out the identity of the murdered man. His face is completely blown off by the gunshot. His fingerprints are not in the national database. The door was broken in too unprofessionally. And for some reason the shooter’s bloody clothes turned out to be... washed.________________________________ “Master class on the topic “How to write action-packed novels”.” – John Marrs “Exciting, tense, suspenseful.” – Karin Slaughter “One of our best suspense writers.” – Mark Billingham “An inventive, immersive thriller with a dark, personal story.” – Janice Hallett “The Inspector Fowley series just gets better.” – Victoria Selman
