The Night Murders: A Scipio Mystery

By Peter Owen-Smith

Some cases aren't meant to be solved. Some secrets were never meant to surface
When an injury sidelines DCI Joe Scipio, he expects a frustrating stretch of desk duty. Instead, he's handed the department's coldest cases, which others have deliberately buried. They're cases someone powerful wants to remain unsolved
As Scipio and his partner Yaz dig deeper into a brutal murder and a missing teenager, they uncover something far more sinister: their boss worked these cases years ago, and the secrets buried within them could destroy more than just her career.
Trust no one
When Scipio catches a Special Branch officer searching his office, the investigation takes a dangerous turn. However, it becomes clear that these aren't simply forgotten crimes when missing evidence and German documents surface.
Question everything
With intelligence agents circling, and his own troubled past haunting him, Scipio realises that playing by the rules is a mug's game and calls in some 'off the books' help to discover just how deep the deception goes - and who, if anyone, he can truly trust.
THE NIGHT MURDERS is a gripping police procedural that peels back the layers of institutional corruption to reveal the dark machinery operating within the highest levels of power.
