Description

She can't run from them forever--a nail-biting thriller set across the moors, perfect for fans of Adrian McKinty and Elly Griffiths

THREE
Orla McCabe has found a case of money. She knows that someone dangerous will be after this stash, so she flees her home with her husband and newborn daughter--and the money.

TWO
Meanwhile, Detectives Lynch and Weston are investigating the carnage of a botched human-trafficking deal at an isolated shooting lodge on the moors. They find two piles of bullet-riddled bodies--the traffickers and the 'product'--but no money. Soon the owners of the money start to hunt, dragging the McCabes and the detectives into a macabre game of cat-and-mouse.

ONE
For a better life for her family, Orla will never stop running, even if it means sprinting headlong into the void itself. Now it's a matter of who she drags into the dark with her.

RUN.

Advance Praise

"Dark, grisly and utterly compelling. Thriller writing at its finest. The rising tension that permeates this fast-paced novel was truly spine-tingling. Intensely atmospheric. Steven Maxwell is the very definition of a wordsmith."
--Carol Wyer, number one bestselling author of An Eye for an Eye

“Vivid writing carries us through a bruising story drenched in dread and inevitability. With a desperate protagonist willing to do almost anything for a better life and a range of monstrous, implacable pursuers, All Was Lost recalls Cormac McCarthy in its drive and brutality”
--Gabriel Bergmoser, author of The Hunted

"Dark, fast-paced and thrilling"
--Alan Parks, the McIlvanney prize shortlisted author of the Harry McCoy thrillers
