Twelve years ago, Noah Palmer went for a bike ride and never came home. His body is found in the Box Hill woods, a five-pointed star carved in his chest. He is the fourth victim of a serial killer who has never been caught.
Now, a young woman is involved in a shooting outside Harrods in central London. Her DNA shows a familial match to the Box Hill cold case.
Detective Rob Miller leads the investigation. But there’s not much to go on. Just when he thinks he’s got a lead, the case is turned on its head.
To solve this mystery, Rob’s going to have to go off-book, potentially putting his career — and already complicated love life — on the line.
Can he stop the Box Hill killer?

MEET THE DETECTIVE
DI ROB MILLER
Detective Inspector Rob Miller of the Met is finally given his first case as Senior Investigating Officer. For an ambitious, young detective, this is a dream come true. He’s gunning for promotion, and will do anything for his job, but can he also keep his personal life in check?

My Review
This is the first book I have read by Biba Pearce so I can confirm it works perfectly as stand-alone.
12 years ago Suzie Palmer waved to her husband, Noah, as he set on a long cycle ride. That was the last time she would see him alive. The murder was the same MO as 3 others and the investigation went nowhere leaving 4 bodies and 4 families without closure.
Then we move to present day and an innocent victim is arrested in the aftermath of a robbery. The DNA results flag up a match to Noah Palmer.
The case is reopened but with the Bosses watching the budgets and a suspect being friends with the big bosses will Rob be able to make any more progress than the team investigating the original crimes. The clock is ticking Rob must find a reason to reopen the investigation or it gets pulled.
Secrets, fraud, infidelity, revenge, jealousy and more all play a part in this gripping thriller.
In a way I wish I had read the first 3 books as I would have known the characters and their history more but it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the book. The characters are realistic with very human flaws and all contribute to the story.
A very well written, gripping detective story.
