Summary

The case was closed. Until people started dying....

DI Thomas Ridpath was on the up in the Manchester CID: a promising detective who captured a notorious serial killer. But 10 years later, he’s recovering from a serious illness and on the brink of being forced out of the police. Then people start dying, in an uncanny echo of his first case.

As the murder count grows, old records, and bodies, go missing. Caught in a turf war between the police and the coroner’s office, Ridpath is in a race against time. A race to save his career, his marriage, and innocent lives.

When a detective disappears, everything is on the line. Can Ridpath solve the case and save his colleague?

A nail-biting crime thriller, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Peter James, and D. S. Butler.

Interesting first in a seroes

This is a great first book in a series featuring DI Thomas Ridpath, who has just returned from nine months sick leave after cancer treatment. It's a mix of police procedural and forensic medical thriller which is very well writtem with an interesting storyline and plenty of twists and turns.

It was interesting to read a book where the protagonist is a Coroner's Officer as well as a Detective Inspector, though I doubt that most Coroner's Officers do quite as much detecting as DI Ridpath did in this book!

I enjoyed the narration by Dan Bottomley.
