A MISSING DETECTIVE DCI Matilda Darke has been kidnapped and her nemesis, Steve Harrison appears to be behind it. He’s currently residing in the supermax of Wakefield Prison and spends twenty-three hours a day in his cell, so how could he possibly be responsible? A SERIAL KILLER WITH A VENGEANCE As Matilda’s team race to find her, they’re alerted to a body found in an abandoned car on the outskirts of Sheffield. With forensics scouring the woodland for clues, the last thing they expect is for the body count to rise. A RACE AGAINST TIME Meanwhile the search intensifies for the DCI when a video of her kidnapping is leaked to the media. And as she desperately tries to uncover what has led to her being held captive in an underground cell, she’s about to find out how much danger she’s truly in. If Matilda’s team don’t find her soon, they might not find her at all… Early readers have been blown away by Below Ground:

Wow! Wow! The twists keep on coming to the last page’ ‘I don’t have words! Wow just wow! This blew me away. DCI Matilda Darke and her team are my favourite detectives’ ‘This book had a bit of everything… some crazy twists and turns’ ‘Another cracking, nail-biting read’
