"Brilliant thriller for fans of Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben."
The victims are young men. Their killer drugs them and slashes their wrists. Then he cleans their bodies, combs their hair, and wraps them in protective sheeting before leaving them where they’ll be easily found.
Is it a compulsion? A game? Or a brutally delivered message?
These are the questions Homicide Detective Lawrence Hoskins must answer as he takes on the lead role in his first serial murder investigation. But as the bodies keep coming, he feels like he’s the one holding the blade, the one standing between life and death. Under mounting pressure he turns to former colleague Cass Fletcher for help. She knows how a serial killer thinks and why they can’t stop. If she can tell him why, perhaps it will lead him to who.
Except Hoskins has already made one mistake he’s not aware of. Involving Fletcher is another. And as the killer continues to elude him the case takes its toll in ways he never expects. More so when the signs start pointing in a new direction…
“Five beautiful boys lined up in a row,
No longer unnoticed but seen by all
The officers who killed them soon everyone will know
Because the tougher they act, the harder they fall.”
Never Seen is a gripping and chilling serial killer thriller, and the first book in the Hoskins & Fletcher crime series
"Unlike anything I have ever read before. Amazing, original and most highly recommended."
"The twists and turns kept me reading for hours, and I cried at the end. Can't wait to read the next two books!"
"I raced through this book. Loved the seriousness, the humor, the sadness."
"Couldn't put it down."
T.L. Dyer is a writer of character-driven thrillers and gritty fiction, including crime and police procedural. Her stories and characters delve, discover and disrupt, always teetering precariously on that thin line between darkness and light, right and wrong, good and bad.
She is particularly keen on exploring those individuals who set themselves apart from the norm or who stray down a different path. Taking her lead from the characters themselves, she trails behind scribbling notes and trying to keep up as they take her on a breathless, heart-thumping and thought-provoking journey, with no knowing where she might end up.
T.L. lives in South Wales, UK, with her family and eternally bedraggled Yorkshire Terrier.
