What would you do if you knew how you would die, but not when?
The body of a young woman is discovered washed up on the rocky shores of St Mary's Island. The remains are identified as those of Chelsea Birch; a girl with a troubled past and a line of work so unusual the suspects are many.
With the emergence of a second corpse at a local beauty spot, and a third killing in Newcastle City Centre, Detective Constable Ryan Jarrod becomes convinced a serial killer stalks the streets of Tyneside - but it's a line of enquiry which fails to garner support.
When Jarrod and DCI Stephen Danskin learn one of the victims has high-profile connections, they suspect a cover-up which runs deep to the heart of Government. With the assistance of his girlfriend, DC Hannah Graves, and a few trusted colleagues, Jarrod and Danskin set out to unearth the truth.
As the murderer accelerates his pace, Jarrod discovers the killer is playing a game with his victims. It's a game he must also play, and it's a game of high stakes. Should he lose, more innocent women will fall victim to the one known as The Lighthouse Keeper.
Think of Ann Cleeves or LJ Ross with a gritty, urban twist - that's the DC Ryan Jarrod series: explosive crime fiction in the mould of traditional dark thrillers.
