Open Wounds: A British Crime Thriller (DI Harrison Baird Crime Thrillers)

With his first case in Suffolk successfully closed, DI Harrison Baird faces a difficult choice: return to the familiar streets of Aberdeen, to his home and his homeland, his friends and his family and his cat. Or stay in England, with his estranged father and a lifetime’s worth of trauma. But even as he makes plans to leave, the county is rocked by a horrific discovery: a local celebrity, tied to a tree and shot with arrows, his head missing. It’s a crime that echoes one of East Anglia’s most famous legends, and Baird soon realises they’re chasing a killer who is opening up old wounds. Together with DC Constance Connell and the rest of the Southwold Major Investigation Team, DI Baird begins a hunt for a monster. And discovers that he isn’t the only one with unfinished business… The second book in the new series from multi-million copy bestseller Alex Smith, author of the DCI Kett books, Open Wounds has all the compulsive mystery, gripping action and hilarious comedy readers have come to love. Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it.
