OUT NOW
MEET DETECTIVE KATE HAMBLIN IN THIS BESTSELLING SERIES FROM A FORMER POLICE OFFICER.
The world’s deadliest spider. A detective terrified of the creatures. A ruthless psychopath who will use her fears against her.
Detective Kate is called out to a reported theft at Moat House in the marshy wilds of the Somerset Levels. The evidence points to a random break-in by a passing vagrant — but when she questions the wealthy homeowner, Professor Dunbar, and his warring family, Kate realizes there’s more to this burglary than meets the eye.
Professor Dunbar is a world-famous arachnologist. His extensive collection of live tropical spiders includes the world’s deadliest specimen, a Brazilian wandering spider, whose bite is instantly fatal. He’s named her Martha.
Then a family member is found dying in agony in the professor’s laboratory. It appears to be a tragic accident when it’s discovered Martha has escaped from her supposedly secure tank. But Kate is not so sure.
Could there be a killer on the loose?
Kate is terrified of spiders because of a traumatic childhood experience. But she’s hunting a killer who uses the creatures to pursue a deadly agenda. Can she survive long enough to unmask a murderer . . . and avoid the spider’s lethal bite?
DISCOVER AN ADDICTIVE CRIME THRILLER FULL OF TWISTS YOU WON’T WANT TO PUT DOWN.
Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Robert Bryndza, Joy Ellis, Mel Sherratt, Angela Marsons, Helen H. Durrant, Colin Dexter or Ruth Rendell.
THE DETECTIVES
Detective Sergeant Kate Lewis is a feisty young detective with a dynamic approach to her job. She is plucky and tenacious, but also prone to being impetuous and headstrong. This often lands her in tight spots, earning her the nicknames ‘Maverick’ or ‘Go-It-Alone’ Kate, and it puts her on a collision course with the more bureaucratic hierarchy of the force.
In stark contrast to Kate, her detective constable husband and partner, Hayden, is an overweight, untidy, ex-public schoolboy with a pompous, laidback attitude and an old-fashioned view of life, which drives Kate to distraction. But he is also highly intelligent, with a keen analytical mind and a practical, reasoned approach to everything, which, with a prevailing wind, can sometimes act as a break on his partner’s more impulsive behaviour.
THE SETTING
A patchwork of fields, peat moor and marshland, dotted with picturesque villages and criss-crossed by man-made irrigation ditches or rhynes, the Somerset Levels covers an area of about 160,000 acres between the Mendips and Quantock Hills, in the County of Somerset. Sparsely populated outside the local towns of Bridgwater, Glastonbury and Street and prone to flooding, it is a haven for wild life, a wild, secret place with an atmospheric brooding stillness, which creeps into the very soul; a place where the booming call of a bittern or the beating of an owl’s wings in the mist is bound to fire the imagination of any self-respecting crime novelist, whose thoughts will invariably turn to . . . murder.
