False Witness: A BRAND NEW heart-racing thriller from John Carson for 2026

Some killers are caught.

Others simply go into hiding...

DCI Liam Brodie is no stranger to horror. Seven years ago, he led the hunt for a murderer who killed seven women, leaving their bodies out on display like some kind of morbid exhibition. Never any witnesses; never any clue as to who he was. The press called him The Embalmer. Brodie called him a monster.

Now, seven years later, the killings have started again. Same method. Same pattern. Same nightmare.

Brodie is called back to Fife to lead the investigation. But this time, the killer isn’t just repeating the past—he’s rewriting it. And Brodie isn’t just hunting a serial killer... He’s being hunted.
