The Devil's Cliff Killings - An unputdownable Welsh police procedural from the multi-million bestselling author

In the hunt for a missing girl, every second counts...

On the night of her sixteenth birthday, Rosie Wright vanishes from a remote farm in North Wales. DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans investigate the Wright family, finding cracks - a dad with a temper and a mum lying to cover herself. Rosie found refuge in an online relationship with a girl called Hayley, but is it really an innocent romance?

When blood is found at the farm, social media buzzes with conspiracies and the press demand answers. Ruth and Nick uncover links to slavery, intimidation and bribery, only to find that the repercussions of the investigation damage those they are closest to.

Rosie's fate is in the hands of the two detectives, and it's up to them whether she comes home alive - or dead.

A gripping, edge-of-your-seat Welsh crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Neil Lancaster, JD Kirk and Michael Wood.
