About this ebook

‘DCI Matilda Darke is the perfect heroine’ Elly Griffiths

A short story and prequel featuring DCI Matilda Darke, star of Michael Wood’s darkly compelling crime series. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride, Mark Billingham and Val McDermid.

It’s Christmas in Sheffield. But not everyone is enjoying the festive season...

A man has been found brutally murdered in his own home. The victim is Iain Kilbride, a once-famous TV star who has faded into obscurity. All signs point to a break-in, but why has nothing been taken?

For DCI Matilda Darke, this is the perfect chance to prove her newly formed Murder Investigation Team are up to the task. Matilda suspects the clue to finding the killer lies in Iain’s past, but she’s about to discover how dark that past really is...

I don't normally read the short stories but I'm pleased I did this one and shall definitely look at getting more from this author as I have read every full length book too A thoroughly enjoyable book that I read in one sitting as couldn't put it down. Now I've finished I'm about to get into the new full length book out today which I already know I will be engrossed in after the first page as usual.
