Synopsis

A body buried in the dunes.A killer with a deadly pattern.Can DCI Walker catch them before the cycle starts again?
When a young woman’s body is discovered in the windswept sand dunes of Lytham St Annes, Detective Walker is assigned to the cold case. The victim’s connection to a former Chief Constable puts the investigation under intense scrutiny from Walker’s current boss, the formidable Chief Constable Sarah Harriet.
It's not a holiday if you don't come home...
But when two more bodies are unearthed nearby, it’s clear they’re hunting a serial killer—one who’s ready to strike again. With few leads and mounting pressure, Walker takes a bold gamble: sending his partner, DC Briggs, undercover as bait to draw the killer out.
As the operation spirals out of control and the team races against time, Walker begins to uncover chilling secrets that shake the investigation to its core. Nothing about this case is what it seems—and the closer they get to the truth, the deadlier it becomes.
Fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, Matt Brolly, Patricia Gibney, and LJ Ross will love this! 
The Dunes is the fourth book in the stunning debut police procedural crime thriller from JJ Richards (although it can be listened to as a stand-alone).
