The Ferryman

Detective Chief Inspector Jacob's life is once again turned upside down when the body of a woman is found in the grounds of Wiltshire's Malmesbury Abbey. The event is tragic enough, but made worse by the fact she was found wrapped in a shroud with an ancient coin in her mouth - exactly how the notorious serial killer 'the Ferryman' used to leave his victims. But the Ferryman, whose real name was Alistair Keeley, was killed in a lethal road traffic accident years ago in Austria.

Is the killer a copycat? Has Keeley somehow risen from the grave to strike terror once again into the hearts of women across England? DCI Jacob gets to work fast, but when a second body turns up in a castle in exactly the same circumstances, the case rapidly spins out of control and Jacob realises his fiancée, psychologist Dr Sophie Anderson, is in grave danger of the most terrifying death imaginable.
