Stuart MacBride, the author of Shatter The Bones, has produced “some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field” (The Independent). Revolving around the "Birthday Boy Killer,” this thriller promises to be extremely riveting.
Detective Constable Ash Henderson has a secret. Five years ago, his daughter, Rebecca, went missing on the eve of her 13th birthday. A year later, a card arrived: homemade, with a photo showing Rebecca, gagged and terrified. Every year, another card appears, each one worse than the last.
Rebecca was a victim of a killer the media has dubbed The Birthday Boy, who has been snatching girls for 12 years. Can Ash track this killer without disclosing that his daughter is one of the victims?

"Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour, this is crime fiction of the highest order." – author Mark Billingham on Stuart MacBride's previous books
