The Blood Detective by Dan Waddell
Release Date: 28th February 2017
Pages: 309
Nominated for the CWA New Blood Dagger in the UK and
Macavity First Book award in the USA, and winner of the Prix Cezam Littéraire.
As dawn breaks over London,
the body of a young man is discovered in a Notting Hill churchyard. The killer
has left DCI Grant Foster and his team a grisly, cryptic clue. It's not until
the clue is handed to Nigel Barnes, a specialist in compiling family trees,
that the full message becomes spine-chillingly clear. It leads Barnes back more
than one hundred years – to the victim of a demented Victorian serial killer.
When a second body is discovered Foster needs Barnes's skills more than ever.
The murderer's clues appear to run along the tangled bloodlines that lie
between 1879 and now. And if Barnes is right, the killing spree has only just
begun . . .
The Blood Detective is a
haunting crime novel of blood-stained family histories and gruesome secrets.
‘Expertly
plotted and with great attention to detail, this is the start of a series that
has already put down substantial roots of its own’ – Mark Billingham.
‘A
fascinating and original investigation into the dark roots of our family trees’ – Val McDermid
