The Gallows Forest

A brand new gritty crime story from the bestselling author of The Echo Man!

Detective Lucy Halliday arrives at the station on Monday morning to face a gruesome discovery from Gallows Wood – a severed human hand. It is a job for her specially trained dog, Moss, to find the rest of the body. The cocker spaniel successfully locates it – and a few days later, tracks down another corpse nearby. Someone has been systematically dumping their victims here. Lucy is convinced that one of them could be her husband Nico, an investigative journalist who disappeared without a trace two years ago. Now she just has to convince her commanding officer, Detective Jack Ellis. However, the tension that Lucy's obsession creates within the investigation team is exactly what the killer needs and wants to strike again… Gallows Wood is the first book in the series featuring Constable Lucy Halliday and her indispensable canine partners.
