MEET DETECTIVE JACK MACINTOSH IN THIS BRILLIANT NEW CRIME SERIES.

Please note this is a revised version of the book that was previously published as Hangman’s End.

An absolutely gripping crime thriller with a massive twist.

The call comes in the early hours. Human remains have been discovered in a suitcase, dumped on the muddy banks of the River Thames. Detective Jack MacIntosh races to the scene.

The suitcase contains a human torso, two arms and two legs. It’s the body of a young girl. But where is her head?

Then a skull is found embedded in the silt of the riverbed. But it doesn’t belong to the body in the case.

As the river offers up more of its gruesome secrets, Jack uncovers a tangled web of shocking secrets stretching back twenty years.

Perfect for fans of Helen H. Durrant, Biba Pearce, Lynda La Plante, Angela Marsons and Rachel McLean.

READERS LOVE TWENTY YEARS BURIED:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Truly gripping and suspenseful . . . keeps you guessing throughout.’ Bob

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The best book in the DI MacIntosh series so far.’ Ian W.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Full of unsuspected twists and turns . . . Incredibly fast-paced and puzzling.’ Nicola H.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Brilliant . . . This series gets better and better.’ Colin B.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A real page-turner.’ Lynda C.

THE DETECTIVE
Detective Inspector Jack MacIntosh is a dedicated police officer, the one person you would want to fight your corner. But he has been known to cross the line to get the job done. As a four-year-old boy he discovered his mother’s body swinging from a light fitting. Jack and his younger brother were taken into care — Jack did OK, his brother not so much. A bit of a loner, Jack has never married — although plenty of women would like to give it a shot. He lives in a charming mews cottage in central London. No one is quite sure how he can afford it on a detective’s salary.

Love Jack Macintosh! Brooding, but empathetic. Determined to get his man. Clever writing, all characters fleeced out and brought to life. Exciting, nerve-wracking, and parts brought me to tears. Wonderful author. I'm hooked!

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023
I really enjoyed the whole series. When I first started book 4, I almost was not going to read it due to the gruesome liking and dismemberment of a child. I am glad I got last that part and continued with the story. I am so glad that Jack's brother got married. Also that everyone got caught.

Looking forward to another mystery I was disappointed with the subject matter. A child's death is too sad for me.
