Dead Man Walking cover

In Dead Man Walking, DS Mark Heckenburg faces a chilling serial killer, 'The Stranger', who reemerges to terrorize a remote community during a brutal winter.

In Dead Man Walking, the chilling fourth installment of the DS Mark Heckenburg series, readers are plunged into a gripping narrative set against the harsh backdrop of a brutal winter in the Lake District. A prolific serial killer known as 'The Stranger' has resurfaced, and for Detective Sergeant Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg, the signs of this nightmare are all too familiar. After a decade of silence, the killer is back, and his methods are as vicious as ever. As two young women mysteriously vanish, Heck's instincts tell him that they may be the latest victims of this cold-blooded predator.

As Dead Man Walking unfolds, the tension escalates within a remote community besieged by fear. Heck finds himself in a race against time, desperately trying to piece together clues while the killer methodically picks off his victims. With communication cut off from the outside world, Heck is forced to navigate a deadly game where every move could lead to another life lost. The stakes are high, and the psychological toll weighs heavily on him as he battles not just the killer, but the dark shadows of his own past.

This spine-chilling thriller, crafted by the #1 ebook bestseller Paul Finch, is a must-read for fans of suspenseful crime fiction. Dead Man Walking delivers a taut narrative filled with unexpected twists, making it an unputdownable addition to the series. Readers will be captivated by the relentless pursuit of justice and the haunting presence of a killer who refuses to be caught.
