Wilful Cruelty: A DCI Evan Warlow Novel

Milford Haven has a dead man, and too many dangerous assumptions.

A carefully planned street killing draws Jess Allanby into a slow, politically charged investigation where every breakthrough creates extra risk. At home, Warlow confronts a different threat: a manufactured haunting designed to control a vulnerable woman and reshape a public narrative.

Both cases hinge on the same uncomfortable truth — cruelty doesn’t always look like rage. Sometimes it looks like strategy.
