A killer out for revenge. A detective with nothing left to lose. A town on the brink of chaos.
After catching his boss in bed with his wife, Chief Inspector Holt’s once-illustrious career crumbles in a single punch. Exiled to a sleepy countryside town, Holt is forced to move in with his daughter Poppy, who also happens to be a detective—now under his command. Their bond will be tested when a pair of teenagers steal a bus for a joyride, only to turn up savagely murdered.
As the body count rises, this quiet town reveals dark, hidden fractures, and it will take every ounce of Holt’s expertise to hunt down a killer whose thirst for vengeance knows no bounds. With tensions mounting, and the town on the edge of civil war, Holt finds himself in a race against time, where every misstep could be his last.
A Field of Blood is the gripping first novel in the Chief Inspector Holt series—an electrifying thriller that will keep you turning the pages until the final twist.
