Scott Jericho thought he'd worked his last case. Fresh out of jail, the disgraced former detective is forced to seek refuge with the fairground family he once rejected.
Then a series of bizarre murders comes to light - deaths that echo a century-old fairground legend. The police can't connect the victims. But Jericho knows how the legend goes; that more murders are certain to follow.
As Jericho unpicks the deadly mystery, a terrifying question haunts him. As a direct descendant of one of the victims in the legend, is Jericho next on the killer's list?
From the award-winning author of The Outrage comes Killing Jericho, the gothic, helter-skelter thriller debut that introduces crime fiction's first ever Traveller detective, Scott Jericho.

One hell of a ride * THE TIMES *
A distinctive detective, a striking setting, and macabre murders - what more could a reader ask for? * JOHN CONNOLLY, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Charlie Parker series *
Revelatory . . . Think you know travellers? Think again. * VAL McDERMID *
I'd describe Killing Jericho as 'a rollercoaster ride', if it weren't the sort of novel that flies in the face of such jaded cliche. This is a dark mystery and a unique serial killer thriller whose sense of place and history can border on the supernatural, but is never anything less than down-to-earth. It's also much more. A rare insight into the traveller community. A detective who breaks every mould. An exploration of the power of legends and a story that's not just a carousel of meaty twists, but also a tantalising glimpse of what promises to be a must-read series * JANICE HALLETT, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE APPEAL *
A twisty mystery, a devious killer and a brilliantly original investigator - Killing Jericho is an absolute cracker * T.M. LOGAN, bestselling author of THE CATCH *
A thrilling helter-skelter of a gripping mystery introducing an exciting and unique new detective, Killing Jericho will have you on the edge of your seat. Strap yourself in, the ride is just starting . . . * SARAH PINBOROUGH, no.1 bestselling author of BEHIND HER EYES *
A beautifully wrought and fantastically gothic thriller that introduces a brilliant new detective quite unlike any I've met before. It left me hungry for more! * SJ WATSON, Sunday Times bestselling author of BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP *
A refreshing standout . . . With a surprisingly twisted ending, this is addictively dark * HEAT MAGAZINE *
Darkly original, suspenseful and haunting. From the gothic undertones, to the fresh protagonist and ratcheting tension, Killing Jericho is a first-class thriller * CHRIS WHITAKER, bestselling author of We Begin at the End *
To remain true to hardboiled noir and still be inventive enough to destroy pre-conceived ideas is a genuine triumph. William Hussey has done this in spades * IAN MOORE, bestselling author of Death & Croissants *
