Bait & Switch

By B Baskerville

A young reverend attacked. Faith shattered in one violent night.

As winter tightens its grip on Newcastle, so does a dangerous predator who leaves no trace.

DCI Erica Cooper is hunting a man who knows how to disappear. No DNA. No witnesses. No mistakes. Public anger begins to boil, and with it, calls for the return of a vigilante who delivers his own brutal brand of justice.

Running out of options, Cooper authorises a dangerous gamble: an undercover operation that turns her own officers into bait.

But when you sacrifice a lamb, you can't choose which wolf comes to claim it.

In a city on the brink, Cooper must catch the man responsible - before fear, fury, and vigilante justice tear Newcastle apart.

Bait & Switch is the dark and intelligent ninth instalment in the DCI Cooper series by B Baskerville. This morally charged thriller will have readers looking over their shoulders. Perfect for fans of JM Dalgliesh, Simon McCleave and Rachael McLean.
