The Cardiff Lockdown Murders: A gripping crime thriller full of twists

After the brutal killing of a sexual predator a mutilated corpse is discovered. But with Cardiff emerging from lockdown can Detective Marco stop more deaths?

The body of man involved in two failed prosecutions for sexual violence is dumped on a secluded road. Marco has to face criticism from a community appalled by the failure of the police. When the mutilated body of a man with no suspected links to sexual offences is discovered Marco is convinced one killer is at work.

But his superiors disagree. A profiler, insisted on by Marco’s Superintendent, only adds to his frustration. Can Marco win the day? After two more deaths Marco realises how all the threads pull together and who might be the final victim of the killer intent on gruesome revenge. The world might have been locked away and policing very different, but DI John Marco knows that behind closed doors, the bad guys have merely been waiting patiently for their moment to strike.

Faced with his own weaknesses he challenges himself to finish the case as he races to avert the final death.

The Cardiff Lockdown Murders is the fourth book in the fast-paced Inspector Marco series based in Cardiff. If you like clever mysteries and gripping page-turners then you’ll love Stephen Puleston’s Detective Marco series.

Perfect for fans of Simon McCleave, JD Kirk, JM Dalgleish and Rachel McLean.
