Darkside

by Belinda Bauer (Author)

Synopsis

It is freezing mid-winter on Exmoor, and in a close-knit community where no stranger goes unnoticed, a local woman has been found murdered in her bed. This is local policeman Jonas Holly's first murder investigation. But he is distracted by anonymous letters, accusing him of failing to do his job. Taunted by the killer and sidelined by his abrasive senior detective, Jonas has no choice but to strike out alone on a terrifying hunt . . . but who is hunting who?

Media Reviews
She's a thriller queen... hailed as the woman most likely to lead the fightback against the Scandinavian crime-wave... It's an extraordinary piece of writing... one of the most gripping whodunnits you'll read in 2011 * Sunday Times (Culture) *
Bauer has shifted the boundaries of what makes a truly gripping, terrifying thriller * Daily Mirror *
Bauer takes astonishing risks but - like a brilliant ski-jumper - arcs down to the perfect landing * Independent *
She can do tragic brilliantly and she can do grim, but every now and then humour breaks into the tale - and she does that almost best of all * Guardian *
Belinda Bauer is the most disturbing new talent around -- VAL MCDERMID
