Summary

The third novel in the DI Sean Corrigan series – authentic and terrifying crime fiction with a psychological edge, by an ex-Met detective. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Peter James and Stuart MacBride.

‘There’s nothing to be afraid of. I have something for you, George. Something very precious.’
Four-year-old George Bridgeman is abducted in the dead of night. There are no witnesses and no evidence left at the scene.
DI Sean Corrigan is on the case, but his uncanny ability to step into the mind of the killer is of no use.
Then another child goes missing.
The team are running out of time. Can Sean find the missing children, before an abduction becomes a murder?
A gripping and twisty detective thriller perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and James Oswald.

Critic reviews

Overall not bad

Overall this is a decent story and I would read more of Luke Delaney's books. I do find though that it's a pity his editor didn't pick up on the numerous repeated words which jar when reading or listening.

Interesting

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It took me a while to get into this book due to the narrators voice but it was a very good story even though I figured it out early

Any additional comments?

All three books are well written and told and each one gets better just love DCI Corrigan character

Stunning

I've read the first two books and this was the first as an audio book and it was just brilliant. The narrator was excellent capturing the mood of the book brilliantly. When are these books going to me made in to a TV series? I just hope it's soon. Thanks Luke.
