About this ebook
From the winner of the Genre-Busting Book of the Year 2024 comes the second fantastically original and twisty crime thriller.
A fortune teller predicts her own murder.
Will a detective see his coming?
Former CID detective Scott Jericho is done with murder. Done with puzzles. Done with the dark rage that seems to haunt him.
That is until a vicious serial killer targets someone close to him.
Now Jericho is back, his thirst for justice remorseless.
But time is running out. Fortune tellers and psychics are being slaughtered and everything points to a link with a live TV event due to be broadcast on Halloween night. But what is the significance of the macabre wax effigies found at every crime scene? Why is celebrity psychic Darrel Everwood convinced he will die in four days time? And is Jericho's lover Harry really involved in the murders?
As a startling truth is revealed and an old enemy re-emerges, a murder beyond imagining is about to be come the media event of the century...
William Hussey's debut, Killing Jericho, won the GENRE-BUSTING BOOK OF THE YEAR FINGERPRINT AWARD 2024, and is shortlisted for the THEAKSTON OLD PECULIER CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR AWARD 2024. Now, his brilliantly original detective returns in Jericho's Dead.
