Killing by the Book

By Ryan Stark

A shocking murder. A hidden past.
A detective who must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.

Dawn Silverton seemed to have it all-youth, beauty, and success. But when she is found murdered, her death shatters the Monday Club, a once-close group of university friends still tied together fifteen years later. Behind their polished lives lie secrets, rivalries, and betrayals that none of them can afford to see exposed.

For Detective Inspector Scott Daley and Sergeant Deborah Whetstone of the Metropolitan Police, the case is disturbingly familiar. Dawn's brutal killing mirrors a murder from four years earlier-a crime that was never solved. As the detectives dig deeper, they uncover chilling parallels that suggest the same killer has returned.

Now the Murder Book is open again, and every lead draws Daley and Whetstone further into a dark web of lies, obsession, and revenge. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous the investigation becomes-because this time, the murderer is determined to finish what they started.

Killing by the Book is a gripping British detective thriller filled with twists, tension, and characters you won't forget. Perfect for fans of gritty police procedurals, dark crime fiction, and authors like Ian Rankin, Peter James, and Val McDermid, this is a page-turning murder mystery that will keep you hooked until the very last page.

The first thrilling instalment in the Daley and Whetstone Crime Stories series.
