Meet ex-detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . .

Please note, this book was previously published as The Invisible Man.

Is this the end for Slater & Norman Investigations?

They haven’t had a case in weeks. Slater fears it’s time to admit defeat, shut up shop and manfully retreat to the pub. But he never reckoned on one last client.

Distressed mum Lizzie Becker. One look at her tear-stained face and Slater knows his pint will have to wait.

Lizzie is crying over a text message, from her teenage daughter, Lilly. Slater can’t understand why. Until Lizzie explains . . .

Lilly can’t possibly be the sender. Lilly is dead.

Two years ago, they pulled her body from the wreckage of a flashy sports car. Everyone says Lilly stole it from her boyfriend’s dad, for a cheap thrill.

But Lizzie knows that can’t be true. That’s not the girl she raised.

Now someone’s stirring up the past — and a veritable hornet’s nest of secrets and lies to boot.

Slater and Norm will stop at nothing to get Lilly’s grieving mother the answers she deserves. But the road to the truth is twisty, with danger lurking behind every hidden corner.

Can they catch the mystery messenger — and Lilly’s elusive boyfriend — before the body count rises again?

This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.
