Hunted (Detective Mark Heckenburg, Book 5)

Description

Get hooked on Heck: the maverick detective who knows no boundaries. A grisly whodunit you won't be able to put down, perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and TV series 'Luther'. Heck needs to watch his back. Because someone's watching him... Across the south of England, a series of bizarre but fatal accidents are taking place. So when a local businessman survives a near-drowning but is found burnt alive in his car just weeks later, DS Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg is brought in to investigate. Soon it appears that other recent deaths might be linked: two thieves that were bitten to death by poisonous spiders, and a driver impaled through the chest with scaffolding. Accidents do happen but as the body count rises it's clear that something far more sinister is at play, and it's coming for Heck too...

"Edge-of-the-seat reading...Heck is formidable - a British Alex Cross." THE SUN "Wonderfully dark and peppered with grim humour. Finch is a born storyteller and writes with the authentic voice of the ex-copper he is." PETER JAMES "An ingenious and original plot. Compulsive reading." RACHEL ABBOTT "A deliciously twisted and fiendish set of murders and a great pairing of detectives." STAV SHEREZ "Avon's big star...part edge-of-the-seat, part hide-behind-the-sofa! An excellent series." THE BOOKSELLER "An explosive thriller that will leave you completely hooked on Heck." WE LOVE THIS BOOK
