Hardy recently learned that Edward Fischer, the man he arrested for a string of killings, is also the man who orchestrated his wife's murder. And now, Fischer has escaped from prison and is on the run.
Fischer is a free man, and before he leaves the country and disappears for good, he’s looking for compensation from Hardy. The sort of compensation money can't buy. The kind that will cause Hardy pain and suffering.
And when Hardy's new home becomes a target and his family come under threat, he finds he has no choice but to step up and do what he's best at... catching killers.
KILLING SHADOWS - BOOK 5Inspector Hardy has retreated to Dorset on the south coast where he plans to spend long overdue quality time with his young daughters and pregnant partner. The sabbatical is short-lived when he is thrust back into the dark world of murder after a family with twin boys is found dead at their home in the countryside.
Hardy pulls together a small team to investigate the devastating crime, which is the latest in a series of similar crimes. With no apparent motive and the only similarity between the families being twin boys, the team struggle to hunt a killer who seems unstoppable.
DON'T GO HOME - BOOK 6
When teenager Leanne Churcher stormed out from the family home after another clash with her mother, she went to stay with a friend. She’d left the family home under a cloud before; after a day or two she always came home. Always. She usually just needed some time to cool off. After all, teenagers can be like that. Right?
When after a few days she didn’t return, and no trace of her can be found, the family begin to panic. The police assume she’s an angry teenager whose run away. Why wouldn’t they? There's no evidence to suggest foul play of any kind.
Adam Churcher knows his daughter wouldn’t run away. He investigates her disappearance himself. After all, who can you turn to when the police won’t help?
But when Adam starts to uncover the truth nobody believes him, not even his wife. Suddenly the focus is on him and he feels helpless and ill-equipped to handle the pressure.
He needs a helping hand from retired Chief Inspector Hardy. Will Hardy take seriously what Adam has learned of Leanne's disappearance?
