Truly Madly Deadly: An Edge-Of-Your-Seat British Crime Thriller (DCI Kett Crime Thrillers)

It’s Valentine’s Day, and DCI Robert Kett and the Extreme Crime Task Force are preparing to join in the romantic celebrations when a shocking confession throws the city into chaos. A man walks into the police station and admits to brutally murdering his wife, and he claims somebody else forced him to do it. Nobody believes his story, but when two more innocent victims vanish, the blood-drenched evidence starts pointing to a killer who gets his kicks by putting devoted couples through an unimaginable trial of terror and torture—turning them against each other in the name of an unsettling local tradition. Love may be in the air, but on this Valentine's Day it is death that stalks the streets. Truly Madly Deadly is the fifteenth instalment in the internationally bestselling DCI Kett series, which has sold over a million books to date. Relentless action, compulsive mystery and dark humour combine perfectly in the series that Thrilling Fiction calls "Heart-stoppingly gripping!" from the author that James Patterson describes as "fresh and ferocious!" Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it.
