Synopsis
A chilling encore from a killer on a sun-drenched island – will DC Maggie Neville solve the case before it's too late?
Dead Guilty by Michelle Davies is the captivating fourth novel in the critically acclaimed Maggie Neville crime series, following False Witness.
Katy Pope was just seventeen when she was brutally murdered on a family holiday in Majorca. Despite her mother's high rank in the Met and the joint major investigation between the British and Spanish police, Katy's killer was never caught. Now, ten years later, her family returns to the Spanish island to launch a fresh appeal for information, accompanied by the skeletal team of investigating Met detectives and newly seconded Maggie as the family liaison officer.
But Maggie's first international investigation quickly escalates from a simple press conference when another British girl vanishes while on holiday, and Katy's killer announces that it's time for a spine-chilling encore. Maggie must race against the clock to unravel the mystery and catch the killer before more innocent lives are lost under the Mediterranean sun. Will this cold case finally be solved, or will the culprit escape justice once again?
