Description
The Puppet Show is a gripping thriller that follows a series of gruesome murders in the Lake District's ancient stone circles. A serial killer is burning people alive, leaving no clues behind, and the police are stumped. When the killer's name is found carved into the charred remains of the third victim, disgraced detective Washington Poe is brought back from suspension to investigate. Reluctantly partnered with a brilliant but socially awkward civilian analyst, Poe must navigate a complex web of clues to uncover the truth behind the murders.
As the body count rises, Poe discovers he has a personal connection to the case that he cannot ignore. The killer's plan is sinister, and Poe's investigation leads him down a dark path that challenges everything he thought he knew about himself. With its tightly plotted twists and turns, The Puppet Show is a thrilling pacey read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
