About this listen

A sadistic killer, vigilante justice, and a disturbing calling card…

When a young woman is found tortured and murdered, Detective Rob Loxley attends the scene and finds an unusual calling card beside the innocent victim.
A Poppet.
This small handmade doll is out of place in the scene but suggests certain things about the killer. Naturally, the press latch onto this detail and sensationalise it.

Digging deeper, Rob and his team discover a history of abuse and a miscarriage of justice in the victim's past. But when her abuser becomes a victim himself, things suddenly get complicated.

Meanwhile, against this grim backdrop, Scarlett prepares for her big day while Loxley deals with the recent revelations concerning his neighbour and the latest meddling by his family.

Rob must navigate a murky world of serial murder and vigilante justice as he hunts for the Poppet Killer before he strikes again and more innocent blood is spilt.

AN ILL WIND is a gripping and compelling new British crime thriller, perfect for fans of TG Reid, Jack Gatland and Ian Rankin.©2026 W. F. Howes Ltd
