Death in King’s Lynn (DI Peter Shaw & DS George Valentine #2)

Previously published as Death Watch.

The cold case that shattered his father still haunts Detective Peter Shaw. Now, it’s back — claiming new victims.

5th September 1992. Fifteen-year-old Norma Jean Judd walks out of her King’s Lynn home, and vanishes. No body. No suspects. The case goes cold under the watch of DCI Jack Shaw, Peter’s late father.

Eighteen years to the day, the body of Norma Jean’s brother is discovered inside a hospital incinerator — burned almost beyond recognition. The evidence leaves no room for doubt: this was murder.

Shaw and DS Valentine are assigned to the case — and uncover a chilling link to Norma Jean’s disappearance. This was the case that broke his father — and it’s far from over.

Now, Shaw and DS Valentine must track down a ruthless killer before they strike again.
