When a man is found beaten to death in a local Manchester park, Detective Constable Sam Parker is one of the investigating officers. Sam swiftly identifies the victim, but what at first looks like an open and shut case quickly starts to unravel when he realises that the victim's fingerprints were found on a knife at another crime scene, a month earlier.
Meanwhile, Sam's brother, Joe - a criminal defence lawyer in the city - comes face to face with a man whose very presence sends shockwaves through his life. Joe must confront the demons of his past as he struggles to come to terms with the darkness that this man represents.
Before long, Joe and Sam are in way over their heads, both sucked into a terrifying game of cat-and-mouse that threatens to change their lives for ever...

Neil White was born and brought up around West Yorkshire. He left school at sixteen but studied for a law degree in his twenties, then started writing in 1994. He is now a lawyer by day, crime fiction writer by night. He lives with his wife and three children in Preston.
Down and dirty authenticity reeks from every page - the smell of the cells, the artificiality of court appearances, the intensity of the investigation - all helping to make this hypnotic, troubling crime writing with a superb villain and a distinctive atmosphere. Daily Mail on Next to Die Excellent writing and a voice of authority, Neil White snares you with his neat plots and real but likeable characters. Top notch thrills from a master of his craft.

Irish Independent Neil White has hit on a winning formula with his informed and entertaining blend of the legal and police thrillers. The Death Collector is assured, cleverly layered and builds to a thrilling and atmospheric climax. Chris Ewan, author of Safe House Compulsive but disturbing...it's the first in a new series and we can't wait for the next instalment. Bella magazine on Next to Die
