When an elderly book lover is murdered in an attic full of books, DI Grant McKenzie and his team are baffled regarding the motive. Everybody insists they loved the man and would never wish him harm. The only clue may lie in the bookkeeper’s last social media post in which he stated he had in his possession the ‘Whitlock Tome’, a book said to have been written during the First World War, that disappeared during the 1920s and is rumoured to have encoded within it the whereabouts of a valuable family heirloom or secret.

DI McKenzie knows only one thing for sure: the book if it exists, is missing. And those who previously possessed it are dead. Who killed the bookkeeper? Where is the Whitlock Tome? And could anyone else fall victim to the same madman who murdered the avid collector? As the stakes climb ever higher, DI McKenzie and his team pull out all the stops to catch a mysterious and ruthless killer before he strikes again.

Murder and mystery collide on the dark streets of Newtown when a body is unceremoniously thrown from a car in the dead of night. DI Yvonne Giles and her team are thrust into a high-stakes hunt for the killer and the truth behind the victim’s tragic demise. But as they dig deeper, they uncover a tangled web of secrets and lies that hide the keys to solving the case. And when they discover that the victim’s best friend vanished without a trace seventeen years ago, the mystery only deepens. Who killed the man on the tarmac? And what really happened to his best friend? With time running out and a potential witness gone missing, DI Giles must race against the clock to crack the case and bring the killer to justice before it’s too late.
