A dead body in a bath, a cold crime, and multiple killers on the loose. A dark, twisting thriller from the bestselling author of the Louise Blackwell series.

When DCI Louise Blackwell is called to a quiet house in Worlebury, she finds a murder victim in a cold bath, his jaw shattered.

Within days a suspect is arrested. But when a second body turns up in almost identical circumstances, with the suspect still in custody, Louise realises she's either charged the wrong person, or something far more sinister is at play.

With her team stretched thin and the clock running, Louise must untangle a web of old crimes and buried trauma, and confront the disturbing possibility that multiple killers are operating across the West Country. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she begins to question who the real victims are as she rushes to find those responsible before they strike for a final time.

The Correction is the eighth instalment in Matt Brolly's bestselling Detective Louise Blackwell series.
