Bad Moon Rising

The unputdownable new novel from the author of Run for Home.

A young woman walks home by herself, the tapping of her high heels the only sound. At two oâ clock in the morning, itâ s cold, the streets are deserted, and she thinks sheâ s all alone. Waiting for her, sleeping soundly in his bed, is her baby son. When he wakes up the next morning his mother still isnâ t back. Sheâ s never coming back. Because the streets werenâ t as deserted as sheâ d thought.

Three women are dead, and Detective Inspector Lorraine Hunt is searching for a serial killer. In Houghton-le-Spring itâ s Feast week, a time when all hell is let loose as the fair comes to town, and a frenzy of celebration and decadence provides a temporary distraction from the grim realities of everyday life. Itâ s not a good time to be searching for a stranger. Itâ s not a good time to be a woman alone.
