British crime fiction where characters become people and place is part of the story. Ever feel like you're being watched? London 2012. A Portuguese cleaner under a railway bridge. Two schoolgirls on a canal bank. A French student at a bus stop. All victims of the same serial offender. This predator must be stopped before he turns rapist. But how do you catch someone who prowls the London Underground, leaving no more trace than a shadow? From deserted Pembrokeshire beaches, through the underpasses of London, to the remote Irish countryside, Beatrice uncovers the darker side of human nature. Each book works as a stand-alone novel. If you enjoy Ann Cleeves, Peter Grainger and Peter James, you'll love Raw Material. "The characters leap off the page, the prose is witty and intelligent, and the plot twists keep you hooked to the last. What more could you ask?" Barbara Scott-Emmett, author of Don't Look Down.
