Nighthawking

'Hard-hitting' SUNDAY TIMES, CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH 'A riveting follow-up to Firewatching' HEAT 'Comparable with the best of Michael Connelly's Bosch books and James Lee Burke's Robicheaux novels, and - naturally - Ian Rankin' AJ FINNNO SECRET CAN STAY BURIED FOREVER​ Sheffield's Botanical Gardens is an oasis of peace - until one morning when the body of a young woman is found there, buried in a quiet corner. Police determine that she's been there for months and would have gone undiscovered for years - except someone returned in the dead of night to dig her up. DS Adam Tyler and his team have many questions to answer - who is the victim? Who killed her and hid her body? And who dug her up? Tyler's investigation draws him into the secretive world of nighthawkers: treasure-hunters who operate under cover of darkness, seeking the lost and valuable . . . and willing to kill to keep what they find.The new must-read thriller from the bestselling author of FIREWATCHINGPraise for RUSS THOMAS 'I've got a new man in my life. His name is Adam Tyler. Yorkshireman. Enjoys cold drinks and colder cases. Hangs out in exceptional debut novels and exceptionaller sequels.  Firewatching and Nighthawking are comparable with the best of Michael Connelly's Bosch books and James Lee Burke's Robicheaux novels, and - naturally - Ian Rankin; but there's an elegiac quality here that reminds me of Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie titles and the Dublin Murder Squad novels by Tana French' AJ FINN 'I loved it! Nighthawking turns Sheffield into a dark and terrifying underworld, and the plot is wonderfully fresh and original' KATE RHODES 'Superb. Every part of Nighthawking is so well woven together . . . the end dragged me around and spat me out a broken man. Highly recommended' JAMES DELARGY  'In the clever and compulsive Firewatching, DS Adam Tyler navigates a complex cast of villains and victims in a cold case that suddenly turns very, very hot' LOUISE CANDLISH   'A pitch-perfect blend of the best of the old and the best of the new . . . I loved it' LEE CHILD 'Devoured in three days. A cracking read with a terrific new detective lead. Red hot debut for 2020' SARAH HILARY 'A fantastic read with a plot that left me guessing and a cast of very real and well imagined characters.' JAMES DELARGY  'A great read. Totally absorbed me' CASS GREEN 'Intelligent, pacy and compelling, it's everything you could want from a crime novel' SARAH WARD, author of the DC Childs mysteries
