SLATER & NORMAN: DEADLY CASES (Book 3: Death by Night)

Florence is a familiar but largely forgotten figure in the small town of Tinton. Homeless, frightened, and desperately searching for Dougal, she seems to be another victim of a life nobody understands. But elsewhere in town, a far more audacious criminal is operating under cover of darkness.

The Night Caller has already robbed wealthy homes across Hampshire, stealing jewellery and valuable works of art worth millions. Each crime carries the same calling card—and now the mysterious burglar has targeted the home of Sir Robert Maunder, a retired chief constable and knight of the realm.

Norman soon discovers that this burglary may not be as straightforward as it appears. The alarm was never switched on. There is no obvious forced entry. And behind the respectable walls of Maunder's house lie secrets that reach back years.

As Slater and Norman investigate, a missing person, an old scandal, powerful figures, and a much darker history begin to connect. The detectives soon realise they are not simply hunting a thief. They are uncovering a web of crimes someone has spent years trying to keep hidden.

A gripping British crime mystery where the darkness conceals more than one secret—and where the truth may be far more dangerous than the crime that first brought the detectives to the door.
