Synopsis

Don't miss Neil Lancaster's brand-new espionage thriller series! available to buy now. Praise for Neil Lancaster: 'Non-stop action, breakneck pace, deliciously suspenseful… was my first DS Max Craigie book and won’t be my last – I loved it.' A TRAGIC DEATH When the body of Leanne Wilson is found at the bottom of a Scottish mountain, it is classified as a tragic accident. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise. A RISING BODY COUNT Then DS Max Craigie discovers that five other women in the last year have died by falling off mountains, and something feels very wrong. They were all experienced climbers and alone when they died. This can only mean one thing: there’s a killer on the loose. A KILLER IN THE SHADOWS The more Max investigates, the more he believes that they are dealing with something much bigger than a lone serial killer. With five victims and conflicting clues, how do you catch someone committing the perfect crime? * * * * ‘Think Jack Reacher fronting ’ ‘Fast-paced, compelling, and deeply authentic’ ‘Neil Lancaster is so damn clever’ ‘A thriller writer set to blow up the bestseller lists’ ' Paul Finch ‘Deliciously dark’ ‘It’s rare that a book is such a joy to read, particularly one mid-series when – as a reader – you are behind the eight-ball, but Neil has absolutely smashed it out of the ball park. It’s so, so good.’
