Spider's Web

The final instalment of an investigative crime thriller series, pairing a detective with a list of untouchable names and a woman who's spent twenty years searching for her abducted sister. Organised abuse, cover-ups and a predator known only by an alias.

Twenty Years Missing. One Last Thread To Pull.

A trip to the cinema turns into a nightmare for Anna Young when two men throw her thirteen-year-old sister, Jessica, into the back of a van and speed away.

The years tick by. The police never find her, and Jessica's name fades from the headlines. But every time Anna closes her eyes she's back in that moment, lurching for her sister's hand and missing. Now in her thirties, Anna has one purpose left: finding Jessica, dead or alive.

Detective Jim Monahan has a little black book with forty-two names in it and a vow to put every one of them behind bars. His investigation is going nowhere until a twenty-year-old clue brings him and Anna together on the trail of a figure known only as Spider. The people Spider entices into his web have a habit of ending up missing or dead. Together, Jim and Anna might finally reach the truth. The question is what it'll cost them.

Spider's Web is the final book in the Steel City Thrillers series, for readers who love dogged detectives, missing-person cold cases, institutional corruption and long-awaited reckonings. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Ann Cleeves and L.J. Ross.
