Synopsis

Jimmy Suttle has barely got his feet under the desk at his new job. Having flown in the face of his superiors on his first big case he now finds himself trying to track down a hugely skilled killer before another innocent dies and before the media tear the force apart. Jimmy is facing a case that could end his career. And his life.
Full of a sense of place, sensitive to the deep rooted agonies of a policeman alone and facing disaster, and with a chilling understanding of the motivations of the killer this is a bravura piece of crime fiction that will secure Hurley's reputation and win new readers.

Review

In all his [Hurley] books, the humanity of his police officers is as important as their ingenuity as detectives, in fact it is their sensitivity that makes this thriller... admirable rather than tasteless... the second in the new series, is as thought-provoking and vivid as his previous writings. LITERARY REVIEW "TOUCHING DISTANCE is a storming read and is yet another fantastic addition to an already addictive series." CRIMESQUAD TOUCHING DISTANCE is quite simply the best crime book I have read this year. Hurley puts his readers centre-stage in a labyrinthine investigation. He draws you in and makes you feel like one of the players. Brilliantly done! Peter May, author of THE BLACK HOUSE A superbly thrilling ride through the ebbs and flows of an investigation. With TOUCHING DISTANCE Hurley proves he's in the top rank of British procedurals. Lean, dark and with plenty of heart Stav Sherez His ability to create cracking plots involving charactersso real they leap off the pages, has established Hurley as a Top 10 writer of darkly moody crime thrillers... a dangerous puzzle that explodes in a page-ripping hostage climax.
