Deadly Focus — R.C. Bridgestock

‘A cracking story.' Natasha Harding, The Sun

The first in the D.I. Jack Dylan series, set in Yorkshire and written by the husband and wife team who are the storyline consultants to TV's Happy Valley and Scott & Bailey.

When a young girl disappears yards from her own front door, Detective Inspector Jack Dylan has to shelve his plans for a quiet Christmas with his partner, Jen. The Yorkshire community of Harrowfield is unsettled and its worst fears confirmed when the naked body of Daisy Hind is found on a bleak, windswept moor.

As the murder investigation gets underway, a second child is abducted. This time a small body is found hanging from a bridge. With the press increasingly on his back, Dylan has to catch a serial killer before another child is abducted.
