About this ebook

The young girl you have found isn’t the first experiment I’ve carried out. She won’t be the last.

A tense, unpredictable crime debut that will not only have you gripped, but will chill you to the bone. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and Mark Billingham.

A serial killer is stalking the streets of Liverpool, gruesomely murdering victims as part of a series of infamous, unethical and deadly psychological experiments.

When it becomes apparent that each victim has ties to the City of Liverpool University, DI David Murphy and DS Laura Rossi realise they're chasing a killer unlike any they've hunted before – one who doesn’t just want his victims’ bodies, but wants their minds too.

With a series of psychological twists Dead Gone will keep you guessing until the very end.

Good story with strong characters and a decent storyline. Quite gruesome at points - actually gave me nightmares one night and I'm pretty hardcore ha. The editing wasn't very good however, I noticed quite a few repeated or missing words/dodgy punctuation however that is no reflection on the story. Would recommend if you like a creepy thriller/mystery

A good story that had me hooked after the first few pages...but as the story went on it was a bit to predictable and easy to work out what was going to happen.

From start to finish this book had me gripped, exactly what I wanted whilst away in Germany. This being the first book I have read in a long time, I will definitely be reading more from this author.
