About this listen

One terrible case always haunted detective Matt Ballard. Now many years later, the killer seems to be back. And this time he's after Matt.

When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught.

Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

Then another murder happens, with some of the hallmarks of the old case. Has the killer returned, or is this just a sick copycat determined to ruin Matt's life and reputation?

Some books are very visual in their written content and narration and this is one of them. The story is gripping and has been read with the right emotions and intonation. I enjoyed it immensely

This book is not for the faint-hearted—its darkness pervades every page, drawing the reader into a chilling atmosphere. However, the ending is immensely satisfying, offering a conclusion that matches the intensity of the journey. The author masterfully keeps the reader guessing, making it nearly impossible to identify the killer until the very end. It’s brilliantly written, with a narrative that hooks you from start to finish.
