Scott Jericho thought he'd worked his last case. Fresh out of jail, the disgraced former detective is forced to seek refuge with the fairground family he once rejected.
Then a series of bizarre murders comes to light - deaths that echo a century-old fairground legend. The police can't connect the victims. But Jericho knows how the legend goes; that more murders are certain to follow.
As Jericho unpicks the deadly mystery, a terrifying question haunts him. As a direct descendant of one of the victims in the legend, is Jericho next on the killer's list?
From the award-winning author of The Outrage comes Killing Jericho, the gothic, helter-skelter thriller debut that introduces crime fiction's first ever Traveller detective, Scott Jericho.

One hell of a rideTHE TIMES
A distinctive detective, a striking setting, and macabre murders - what more could a reader ask for?JOHN CONNOLLY, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Charlie Parker series
Revelatory . . . Think you know travellers? Think again.VAL McDERMID
I'd describe Killing Jericho as 'a rollercoaster ride', if it weren't the sort of novel that flies in the face of such jaded cliche. This is a dark mystery and a unique serial killer thriller whose sense of place and history can border on the supernatural, but is never anything less than down-to-earth. It's also much more. A rare insight into the traveller community. A detective who breaks every mould. An exploration of the power of legends and a story that's not just a carousel of meaty twists, but also a tantalising glimpse of what promises to be a must-read seriesJANICE HALLETT, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE APPEAL
