Publisher's Summary

A murderer on the loose.

A detective haunted by the past.

A race against time.

DCI Jonathan Walker is a senior detective for the Lancashire Constabulary in Northwest England. He’s haunted by events of the past and hell-bent on redemption--if he can stay healthy for long enough, that is.

After a body turns up in the sleepy village of Rufford, Walker returns from his leave of absence early, his experience deemed crucial for the case. But when it transpires the crime may be linked to a decades-old cold case involving the murder of his sister, the crime becomes personal: he needs this—for his wife and kids, to make amends for past mistakes, and for the current victim—but he must toe the line if he isn’t to be thrown off the case.

When more people start to go missing and bodies turn up with the same bizarre signature, Walker and his team realize they have a serial killer on their hands. But time is running out if they want to save more people from dying, and one in particular, and Walker has to consider breaking the law himself to make things right, once and for all.

Fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, Matt Brolly, Patricia Gibney, and Michael Connelly will love this!

The Icehouse is the stunning debut police procedural crime thriller from JJ Richards.
