The Murder Road

In this East Midlands village, there’s only one way out . . . “Top notch crime writing with an irresistible sense of place.” ―Lancashire Evening Post

The picturesque English village of Shawhead has one road in and one road out. And on that road this morning is an abandoned vehicle . . . with an ominous bloodstain inside.

It’s a mystery. It could be a murder. Where—and who—is the driver? Whose blood has been discovered? Why are the people of Shawhead so hostile toward Detective Ben Cooper, sent in to take charge of the investigation?

As Cooper peels back layers of lies and exposes dark secrets to the light, he draws ever closer to a killer hiding in plain sight. Packed with atmosphere, suspense, and surprises, The Murder Road is the most unforgettable novel yet from Dagger and Barry Award winner Stephen Booth.

“A master of psychological suspense.” —Publishers Weekly
