From the bestselling author of In the Blink of an Eye comes an inventive thriller that pits algorithms against experience, logic against instinct, and one undetectable killer against two extraordinary detectives.
“Unswervingly gripping and scary, and at the same time beautifully tender and humane.”—Nicci French, author of Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?
When the body of a man is found crucified at the top of a hill in the British Midlands, AIDE Lock—the world’s first AI detective—and Detective Kat Frank are thrust into the spotlight as they are given their first live case. When a second body is found, the police issue an extraordinary warning to local males aged between thirty and forty years old:
• Avoid drinking in pubs.
• If you insist on going to a pub, do not leave alone.
• And definitely do not leave a pub with a stranger.
With the national media and local men in an uproar, Kat and Lock have to combine their instincts and algorithms to catch the killer before they can strike again.
Genre: Mystery

Praise for this book
"With Leave No Trace, Jo Callaghan cements her status as a crime fiction force to be reckoned with. Emotional and enthralling, with great dashes of humour throughout. It also includes one of the most heart-stopping yet satisfying endings I've read in a long time. More please, Jo!" - Caz Frear
"A smart, agile, immaculately plotted and moving thriller that is unswervingly gripping and scary, and at the same time beautifully tender and humane." - Nicci French
"I am rapidly becoming a huge Jo Callaghan fan. Leave No Trace was every bit as smart, compelling and insightful as her debut, and where these books really excel is in the emotional weight they bring to the thriller genre. A terrific read!" - Gytha Lodge
"Seeing the return of Kat and Lock is like returning to old friends. A brilliant rapidly paced and plotted thriller. Couldn't put it down. But a thriller with the added extra of being really very original. Executed perfectly. Another masterpiece." - Imran Mahmood
"Jo Callaghan has done it again in this intricately plotted, humorous and incredibly moving thriller. As well as being a gripping, fast-moving story in its own right, it has so much to say about the complementary roles of logic and emotion in policing (and life!), the complexities of grief and what it means to be human. I absolutely loved it." - Laura Marshall
"It goes without saying that a crime thriller should keep you on the edge of your seat, but when it also makes you laugh out loud AND cry, you know you're in the hands of an amazing writer. An absolutely brilliant read." - Frances Quinn
"As brilliantly plotted and innovative as In The Blink Of An Eye, AIDE Lock & DCS Frank are back in Leave No Trace. This time attempting to solve horrific murders in the dead of winter; the story chilled me to the bone and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Callaghan writes with such intelligence; interspersing humour with moments of utter heartbreak." - Nikki Smith
