Description

Looking for a brilliant best-selling crime mystery with great detectives?

 

Detective Calladine and Bayliss face a vicious serial killer in a mystery with a shocking ending.

 

A woman’s body is found in a disused church, a homemade stuffed toy by her side. The victim had been dumped there months ago. The crime has the hallmarks of twenty-year-old case whose alleged perpetrator is in prison.

 

Detective Ruth Bayliss must work out whether a serial killer has returned, or whether a new killer is just taunting the police.

 

Her partner DI Tom Calladine faces the fight of his life to clear his name of corruption accusations. And then things go from  bad to worse for Calladine . . .

 

With the team under massive pressure and drugs flooding the streets, another gruesomely presented body is found.

 

In an ending with a huge twist, the detectives must unpick decades’ old lies before anyone else dies.

 

If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, Mel Sherratt, Ruth Rendell, or Mark Billingham you will enjoy this exciting new crime fiction writer.

 

DEAD BAD is book eight of a new series of detective thrillers featuring D.S. Ruth Bayliss and D.I. Tom Calladine.

Tom Calladine is a detective inspector who is devoted to his job. His personal life, however, is not so successful. Having been married and divorced before the age of twenty-one has set a pattern that he finds difficult to escape.

 

Ruth Bayliss is in her mid-thirties, plain-speaking but loyal. She is balancing her professional life with looking after a small child.

THE SETTING

 

The fictional village of Leesdon on the outskirts of an industrial northern English city. There is little work and a lot of crime. The bane of Calladine’s life is the Hobfield housing estate, breeding ground to all that is wrong with the area that he calls home.
