About this ebook

While attending a crime scene on the outskirts of Maidstone, DI Kay Hunter makes a shocking discovery.

The victim has been brutally cut to pieces, his identity unknown.

When more body parts start turning up in the Kentish countryside, Kay realises the disturbing truth – a serial killer is at large and must be stopped at all costs.

With no motive for the murders and a killer who has gone undetected until now, Kay and her team of detectives must work fast to calm a terrified local population and a scornful media.

When a third victim is found, her investigation grows even more complicated.

As she begins to expose a dark underbelly to the county town, Kay and her team are pulled into a web of jealousy and intrigue that, if left unchecked, will soon claim another life.

Gone to Ground is a gripping serial killer thriller full of page-turning suspense, and the sixth book in the Detective Kay Hunter British detective series.

Praise for Gone to Ground:

"Another great book in the Detective Kay Hunter series, they really are addictive!" Goodreads

"Well plotted, fabulous characters and not bogged down with boring police procedural" Goodreads

British police procedural set in the English countryside, with unreliable witnesses and shocking reveals. For readers who enjoy crime thrillers with credible stakes and a tight team dynamic. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Lisa Gardner and Robert Crais.
