About this ebook

Detective Laura Foster is one mistake away from losing everything. After a high-profile murder investigation implodes, she's sidelined with a case no-one else wants: the unexplained deaths of homeless people across London.


At first, the murders seem random – easy to ignore, easier to forget. But as the body count rises, Laura realises that a calculated killer is stalking the city's streets, preying on those no one will miss. Running out of leads and time, she's forced to turn to an unlikely ally: a sharp-eyed, secretive young homeless girl known only as Ophelia.


Ophelia won't talk about her past. She won't even give her real name. But in her battered notebook lies a trail of clues that could expose the truth – and get them both killed. As Laura is drawn deeper into London's hidden underworld, trust becomes dangerous and survival is never guaranteed.


Hunting a murderer with nothing left to lose, Laura must decide how far she's willing to go to save her career – and how much she's prepared to sacrifice to stop a killer the city refuses to see.


Dead Man's Hook is the first book in the Ophelia Trilogy – about a detective on the edge of oblivion and a crazed homeless girl who just might be able to help with her cases.
