Synopsis
MURDER WON'T STAY BURIED.
The brand-new 2025 thriller from award-winning crime writer William Hussey, author of Killing Jericho, the Genre-Busting Crime Novel of the Year award winner 2024 and Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year shortlisted breakout hit.
While Scott Jericho is tasked with investigating the most baffling case of his career, his partner Harry is set upon his own fateful path.
In a rundown seaside town, a young man has vanished without a trace. Jericho's investigation of this disappearance will unravel a diabolical plot and expose a secret long buried. A secret hinted at by the paper men hanging from the trees in a nearby wood, by the ravings of the local 'wise woman', and by the eerie waxworks of a defunct fairground attraction.
As fates collide and an impossible murder is executed, a twisted killer from the past is closing in on Harry and Jericho. But is it already too late for Jericho to save himself and the man he loves?
