Some lines should never be crossed…

On a cold November morning, the body of a teenage boy is discovered in a remote playground – not just murdered, but butchered.

To DCI Kett and his team, it looks like an open and shut case. The boy was connected to a County Lines gang notorious for its violence and brutality. All evidence points to him being the latest in a long line of unfortunate victims.

But the bloodshed continues. The evidence leads Kett to one of the country’s most mysterious urban legends: the Red Line.

He soon discovers the price of crossing some lines is death – and worse.

Alex Smith books, the DCI Robert Kett and DI Harrison Baird thrillers, have monsters in them too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between, he has published fourteen novels for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith—including the number one bestselling series Escape From Furnace. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.

Tim Bruce is seasoned narrator having narrated over 200 audiobooks. This includes both fiction and non-fiction and most notably Lynda La Plante’s Framed and Albert Roux’s My Life in Food. When he is not narrating he is acting and has been in many TV soaps and in the West End production of Blood Brothers.
