A suspected car-jacking leads to something deeper and darker in the
compelling new Will Traynor forensic mystery. The emergency call
comes in the early hours of the morning. A man and a woman found in
a car in a rundown part of the city, both of them critically
injured. A random, opportune attack by a stranger? Or were the pair
deliberately targeted? Is there a connection to series of
car-jackings which has been plaguing the area? Nothing about this
case seems to add up. As each theory as to what might have happened
leads to yet more questions, Detective Inspector Bernard Watts
decides to call on the help of criminologist Dr Will Traynor.
Traynor knows that it's the small, easily missed details that will
crack the case, but not even he could suspect just where those
seemingly insignificant details will lead . . .
When the decomposed remains of a young woman are discovered just
outside Birmingham, criminologist Will Traynor is drawn into a

Review When the badly decomposed remains of a young woman are
discovered in an isolated wooded area just outside Birmingham, the
victim is quickly identified as Amy Peters, a Manchester University
student who disappeared three years earlier. She is one of five
young women who vanished from the streets of Manchester within a
two-year period. Called in to assist the police investigation,
criminologist Will Traynor believes they are looking for an
intelligent, socially confident individual, someone adept at
covering his tracks. But why would the killer transport the victim
on an eighty-mile journey from Manchester to Birmingham? If he can
find the answer to that question, Traynor believes he has the key
to cracking the case. But at every stage of the investigation, the
killer seems to be one step ahead of him. If he's going to outsmart
him, Will realizes he's going to have to play this twisted
individual at his own deadly game.
Rich. Successful. Dead . . . The mysterious death of Marion Cane
leads criminologist Will Traynor into a deeply challenging and
disturbing new case. Marion Cane swapped a successful city career
in New York and London for a quiet retirement in a wealthy village
on the outskirts of Birmingham. So why was she found dead in her
new home two years later? Marion's death was thought to be due to
natural causes, until an anonymous note leads Superintendent John
Heritage of West Midlands Police to ask DCI Bernard Watts and PC
Chloe Judd to make enquiries. But when they arrive in Newton
Heights, one of the villagers mysteriously vanishes. Still reeling
from his own devastating news, criminologist Will Traynor is
brought in to assist the team with an increasingly complex and
disturbing investigation. Can Traynor push his own demons aside to
see through distorted versions of reality, dangerous secrets and
dark lies in his pursuit of the truth?
Introducing criminologist Will Traynor in the first of a gripping
new forensic mystery series from an expert in the field. When a
headless body is discovered on a popular jogging trail, Detective
Inspector Bernard Watts and his team are plunged headlong into a
baffling murder investigation. Why would someone stab to death a
young woman on her daily run - and take her head? When a close
examination of the crime scene results in a shocking discovery
linking the present murder to a past crime, criminologist Will
Traynor is brought in to assist the police. Aware of Traynor's
troubled past and already having to deal with inexperienced rookie
PC Chloe Judd on his team, Watts is sceptical that Traynor will
bring anything useful to the investigation. He's about to be proved
very wrong ...

When, a year after she went missing, the body of 19-year-old
student Elizabeth Williams is discovered in a field near her
college, Dr Kate Hanson and her colleagues are faced with a
seemingly impossible challenge. The badly decomposed remains are
offering up few clues, and witnesses are proving either unreliable
or reluctant to talk at all. With little in the way of forensic
evidence, Kate realizes that if she is to have any chance of
discovering who killed Elizabeth, she must find out what motivated
the killer, the reason behind the murder, the why. To do that, she
must look beyond what she and her colleagues are being told by
those who knew Elizabeth - and into the twisted psyche of a
dangerous murderer: a killer whom Kate suspects is ready to kill
again.
When the body of a young man is discovered locked inside a church
crypt, his throat torn out, Kate Hanson and her cold case team are
baffled as to the motive. The evidence reveals careful planning but
also loss of control. It makes no sense. Then Kate discovers that
another young man is missing - and the case takes a disturbing
twist.
For the past ten years, David Lockman has been serving a life
sentence for the murder of Della Harrington. Now an appeal judge
has decreed the forensic evidence unsatisfactory and the original
verdict unsafe. Tasked with re-examining the case, forensic
psychologist Kate Hanson and her colleagues unearth serious flaws
in the original police investigation. But if Lockman didn't kill
Della Harrington, who did? As they question those involved, it
becomes clear that not everyone is telling the whole truth. But
have the detectives been working from the wrong assumption from the
outset? In following her hunch, Kate makes a professional decision
which undermines her colleagues, and threatens her very future with
the Unsolved Crime Unit.
