Hangman Island

About the book

When Jez Cardew's boat is discovered adrift in the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, DI Ben Kitto and his fellow members of the lifeboat crew are filled with dread. Despite a thorough search, there is no sign of Jez and the team is forced to return to shore as night falls.

THE OCEAN IS UNFORGIVING

However, Kitto cannot shake the feeling that something is amiss. Why would a seasoned sailor like Jez run into trouble when the sea has been peaceful for weeks? Perhaps his disappearance was not accidental at all.

BUT SO ARE THE PEOPLE...

The grim discovery of a hand washed up on the shore confirms Kitto's suspicions. A medal is attached to the index finger, seemingly placed there by the perpetrator.

This cryptic clue is the key to a mystery as chilling as the icy waters surrounding the island. Kitto must act swiftly before the tight-knit community closes ranks. Time is running out before the killer strikes again...

For those who enjoy the works of Lucy Foley, Ann Cleeves, and Elly Griffiths, this engaging new locked-island thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
