About this ebook

A killer is at work in the commuter belt. DCI Gillard needs answers, fast...

Promising architect Peter Young is shot dead at his desk. DCI Craig Gillard is quickly on the scene, looking at what appears to be a brutal and highly professional hit.

Two weeks later, on the Lincolnshire coast, another body is found on a windswept beach. The man cannot be identified, but sports a curious brand, burned into his neck.

Gillard is plunged into a case without answers, finding himself up against dark and mysterious forces. This time lives are on the line, children's lives - and his own.

Written at breakneck pace with a jaw-dropping twist you won’t see coming, The Body on the Shore is perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza and Mark Billingham.

Ratings and reviews

Enjoyable, fast paced and great descriptions. Tense at times but some parts almost an anticlimax. This 2nd book is so much better than the 1st. Really enjoyed Gillard in Albania storyline.. but felt it was wrapped up far too quickly and would've liked much more info about the kids in the aftermath. Hope that future books in series link back as this would really tie the story lines together and make the characters much more rounded and real.

Thoroughly engaging

loved it
