'Should be at the top of everyone's wish list. Fennell has created one of the most compelling characters in UK crime fiction' - M.W. CRAVEN

FOR THIS KILLER IT'S DEATH AT FIRST SIGHT . . .

The brilliantly dark new serial killer thriller from one of British crime writing's freshest stars - perfect for fans of Chris Carter, Karin Slaughter and M.W. Craven.
______________________

Two men are found dead in London's Battersea Park. One of the bodies has been laid out like a crucifix - with his eyes removed and placed on his open palms.

Detective Inspector Grace Archer and her caustic DS, Harry Quinn, lead the investigation. But when more bodies turn up in a similar fashion, they find themselves in a race against time to find the sadistic killer.

The hunt leads them to Ladywell Playtower in Southeast London, the home to a religious commune lead by the enigmatic Aaron Cronin. Archer and Quinn suspect Cronin's involvement but his alibis are watertight, and the truth seemingly buried. If Archer is to find the killer, she must first battle her way through religious fanatics, London gangsters - and her own demons . . .

Reviews
See No Evil is dark, multi-layered and should be at the top of everyone's wish list. And in Grace Archer Fennell has created one of the most compelling characters in UK crime fiction - fierce and insightful, dogged yet vulnerable, she's utterly absorbing. Highly recommended * M. W. CRAVEN, bestselling author of DEAD GROUND *
David Fennell is a master of the macabre. See No Evil is a dark, twisted crime thriller that will keep readers hooked until the very last page. I can't wait for Detective Inspector Grace Archer's next chilling investigation * ADAM HAMDY *
It's got everything you want in a pacy crime thriller - a police woman with a troubled past, an evil serial killer, a religious cult and more twists than a helter skelter * ARAMINTA HALL, bestselling author of HIDDEN DEPTHS *
Gripping & eye-poppingly gruesome. The next instalment in Davy Fennell's excellent new DI Archer series is hugely atmospheric, and frighteningly inventive * VICTORIA SELMAN, author of TRULY DARKLY DEEPLY *
This is the kind of novel that keeps you turning the pages - gripping, unsettling and occasionally terrifying. It ends with the promise of more to come and I, for one, can't wait. This is a series to savour. * W.C. RYAN *
Involved me in a way that few thrillers do, kept me alert and on-edge right up through the deeply satisfying finale * AJ FINN, bestselling author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW *
