Scott Jericho thought he’d worked his last case. Fresh out of jail, the disgraced former detective is forced to seek refuge with the fairground family he once rejected.

Then a series of bizarre murders comes to light – deaths that echo a century-old fairground legend. The police can’t connect the victims. But Jericho knows how the legend goes; that more murders are certain to follow.

As Jericho unpicks the deadly mystery, a terrifying question haunts him. As a direct descendant of one of the victims in the legend, is Jericho next on the killer’s list?

From the award-winning author of The Outrage comes Killing Jericho, the gothic, helter-skelter thriller debut that introduces crime fiction’s first ever Traveller detective, Scott Jericho.

Publisher Review

One hell of a ride * THE TIMES * A distinctive detective, a striking setting, and macabre murders - what more could a reader ask for? * JOHN CONNOLLY, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Charlie Parker series * I'd describe Killing Jericho as 'a rollercoaster ride', if it weren't the sort of novel that flies in the face of such jaded cliche. This is a dark mystery and a unique serial killer thriller whose sense of place and history can border on the supernatural, but is never anything less than down-to-earth. It's also much more. A rare insight into the traveller community. A detective who breaks every mould. An exploration of the power of legends and a story that's not just a carousel of meaty twists, but also a tantalising glimpse of what promises to be a must-read series * JANICE HALLETT, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE APPEAL * A twisty mystery, a devious killer and a brilliantly original investigator - Killing Jericho is an absolute cracker * T.M. LOGAN, bestselling author of THE CATCH * A thrilling helter-skelter of a gripping mystery introducing an exciting and unique new detective, Killing Jericho will have you on the edge of your seat. Strap yourself in, the ride is just starting . . . * SARAH PINBOROUGH, no.1 bestselling author of BEHIND HER EYES * A beautifully wrought and fantastically gothic thriller that introduces a brilliant new detective quite unlike any I've met before. It left me hungry for more! * SJ WATSON, Sunday Times bestselling author of BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP * A refreshing standout . . . With a surprisingly twisted ending, this is addictively dark * HEAT MAGAZINE * Darkly original, suspenseful and haunting. From the gothic undertones, to the fresh protagonist and ratcheting tension, Killing Jericho is a first-class thriller * CHRIS WHITAKER, bestselling author of We Begin at the End * Crime fiction is crying out for more diversity, and in Scott Jericho we have been gifted a blisteringly new brand of hero * SARAH HILARY, award-winning author of FRAGILE and the DI Marnie Rome thrillers * Agatha Christie meets Se7en - I loved this book * TINA BAKER, No.1 bestselling author of CALL ME MUMMY * Dark, exciting, furiously-paced and full of twists, KILLING JERICHO sets the stage for a unique detective * ALEX SMITH, author of the bestselling DCI Kett thrillers * An accomplished and polished crime debut with a detective that's unlike any you've ever seen. Had me hooked from the first page to the last. Prepare for the rise of Jericho! * J.D. KIRK, bestselling author of HERE LIE THE DEAD * Chosen as a LoveReading Star Book, Killing Jericho is a swaggeringly moody and pulsating read, it comes as highly recommended by us! * LOVEREADING * Brilliant . . . Crime fiction's first 'Traveller detective' . . . What a rich and compelling world * CRIME MONTHLY *
