Cardiff, 1972:
A series of killings holds the city in fear. Six bodies have been discovered, posed, around the city – and each corpse consists of a decapitated body with a different head sewn on.
Only one body has never been identified and has become known as The Domino Man.
The case is never solved.
Cardiff, 2022:
The Kendall Institute is responsible for looking into cold cases when the police cannot afford the time or the money to investigate. Founded by Wales scrum half Wyn Davies, the team comprises forensic scientist Lydia Beynon; ex-Gwent Constabulary Dave Hopkins; and the digital team of twins Ariadne and Osian Thomas.
Anna Edwards, their newest recruit, arrives as the Domino Man case is re-opened. Anna is starting her life afresh, having escaped from a coercively controlling husband.
As the Domino Man case unfurls in all its intriguing psychological complexity, Anna is at the heart of the investigation, helping her new colleagues to piece together the clues and solve the most challenging and satisfying brainteaser of a crime. But all the while her past is coming to catch up with her . . .

Recenzii
‘Helen Jones is a fresh new voice in crime fiction who has come up with a different perspective on a murder investigation. The Domino Man pieces together the puzzle of a longstanding cold case, but the tension never flags thanks to a present-day threat that balances the intricate details of the investigation. Procedural fans will love this confident and assured debut’ Jane Casey
‘Launching a new crime series is always a precarious endeavour but Helen Jones’ debut, The Domino Man, finds an intriguing niche, introducing us to the Kendall Institute, a cold case unit in modern day Cardiff, Wales. Tasked with examining a gruesome series of killings from the 1970s, the team are thrown into the deep end of a seemingly intractable investigation. A complex and gritty debut’ Vaseem Khan
'A truly macabre tale, handled with remarkable sensitivity, and introducing a cast of characters who feel individual - and, before long, like old friends. Clever and intricately plotted, this is an author who shows enormous respect for the reader. And in Anna, we have a great protagonist to root for. A beautifully gripping read' Caz Frear
'A very accomplished debut with a highly original premise, likeable characters, and plenty of twists - loved it' Catherine Cooper
'I really enjoyed the way Anna’s super recogniser skills and her pattern decoding abilities help solve the mystery. This is what I would describe as analytical gore crime - a really captivating genre! A strong start to a solid series that I want to read more of' Cressida Downing
'A gripping, utterly compelling debut with a deliciously dark edge. Twisty, clever and completely addictive – I could not put it down!’ Rebecca Hardy
'Creepy serial killer, intriguing cold cases and a cast of characters to fall in love with' Heather Fitt
