THRILLING FICTION MAGAZINE

The one case he couldn't crack was the one that finally broke him.

Haunted by his inability to track down and save his missing wife, DCI Robert Kett leaves the Metropolitan Police behind and moves to Norwich with his three young children, hoping to heal their broken family.

But his newfound peace doesn’t last. Two newspaper delivery girls have gone missing in the city, and the clues point to a serial kidnapper.

Kett is dragged into the centre of one of the darkest cases of his career — a case that pits him head to head against a horrifying evil.

And a case that might uncover the terrible truth of what happened to his wife.

Terrifying and unputdownable, the first crime novel from million-selling author Alex Smith is officially “a gripping debut” (JD Kirk).

“Sensationally good. A tense and superbly executed police thriller with a central police detective unlike any I have read before.”

“Treat yourself to this first in what I hope is going to be a long, long series.”

“Wow! I love his writing. His characters are really engaging and there's plenty of action and suspense to keep you on your toes. Paper Girls is one of those books you just have to keep on reading to see what happens next.”

“I raced through this book. It's an absolute cracker - well paced, properly scary in places, full of humanity and humour.”

“I was gripped by this book from the start, it's fast paced and real edge of the seat stuff, it even has some humour along the way too. Three days later, I am starting the third book in the series and have pre-ordered the fourth, they really are that good. I highly recommend them.”

“A million times better than the many dark, dreary and miserable crime books out there. I was hooked from the first paragraph. Fast paced and funny. Sign me up for more! A brilliant read.”
