The Killer Shadow Thieves

A man with a secret is MURDERED. A detective's daughter is ABDUCTED.
Two illegals are ASSASSINATED. What connects them?

When he foils a deadly heroin deal, widowed detective DI Tom Blake sets off a chain of events that change his life forever. Things become even more perilous when seemingly unconnected, links between the gruesome murder of a skinhead, and the arrest of a vicious loan shark, unwittingly disrupt an international gang's daring plans to steal the world-famous Staffordshire Hoard.

In a cruel twist of fate, Blake's teenage daughter is abducted, propelling the bereft detective on a quest to save her life. Operating outside the law, he's racing against the clock, following a murderous trail that leads him from the shady world of stolen artefacts, across America, and all the way back to Stoke, chasing a shadowy killer driven by greed and revenge.

As the body count rises, Blake and his team struggle to unravel the conspiracy and with only circumstantial evidence against each of the suspects, they hit a wall, until twenty-six-year-old photographs linking them to murders emerge. It seems the victim's depraved past is the key to identifying the killer.

Can the police uncover the truth through all the deception and crack the case before the killer murders anyone else who threatens to expose him? And will they recover a legendary national treasure, worth millions, before it's lost forever?

A brilliantly executed police thriller with an explosive ending!
