Story
They call him the Jackdaw. On each body, he leaves a chilling signature: five scratches. And each time he kills, he takes a trophy, an eerie collection that grows with every strike. No one knows what he looks like, where he'll strike next, or why. He could be your neighbour, your boss… your husband. There’s only a paralysing fear that, whoever he is, he's out there: watching, waiting.

Publisher's Summary
A nail-biting, award-winning crime novel from the author of The Echo Man!
A shocking crime scene…
DCI Adam Bishop has never seen anything like it. Five murder victims – all with numbers written above their bodies. And the spray-painted daubs reveal a horrific truth: the killer is counting down…
A case that twists and turns…
When Dr Romilly Cole learns of the murders, they trigger memories of a traumatic past she has tried hard to forget. But getting involved with the case is a bad idea. She and Bishop have history – and working together could never end well.
A race against time to stop a killer…
Adam and Romilly soon realise the truth lies in a decades-old case, and only Romilly holds the key. But they must act quickly, because with every passing day, there are more victims. And as the numbers edge toward zero, the murders get closer to home…
The countdown has begun. Who will die next?
* THE ECHO MAN won the Bronze Bat for Best Debut Thriller in October 2022, and THE TWENTY won the Silver Bat for best thriller of the year in October 2023, at the Netherlands Thriller Festival
Critic Reviews
"Fascinating, complex characters, whose relationships are every bit as humanly messy as the crime scenes they face. And the crime scenes are every bit as personal as the relationships they cling onto. Relentless, twisted, terrifying; like its killer." (Dominic Nolan, author of Vine Street)
"Some authors spook you. Some authors unnerve me. Very few authors frighten you — but very few authors are Sam Holland. The Twenty is smart and brooding, icepick-sharp and shadow-dark; best of all, though, it’s scary as hell. Think you’re tough? Pick up this novel and prove it." (AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window)
"Sharp as a razor and jam packed with heart-in-mouth moments that’ll leave you reeling." (Robert Scragg, author of End of the Line and What Falls Between the Cracks)

Thought I would give book 2 a try
After the first dismal book from this author I thought I should give the 2nd installment the benefit of the doubt. Not much left to say except at least I did somehow manage to finish it and just laughed at how completely absurd it all was. Not for me.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
