Death stalks the docklands of Liverpool...

Edge of the Land is the thrilling third novel in the gripping Merseyside crime series from Malcolm Hollingdrake, author of the best-selling Harrogate crime series.

The waterways of the Liverpool docks contain many ghosts and shadows. It’s a place to disappear… a place to die.
Detective Inspector April Decent and Detective Sergeant Skeeter Warlock are fearful for the welfare of a vulnerable young man injured in an attack ordered by drug dealers, but he refuses to co-operate with the police.

He soon disappears. Clues to his whereabouts are sown, a cry for help maybe, but he remains elusive.

Meanwhile, the team are dealing with a spate of deaths in the city. The one thing the deaths have in common: the victims are all homeless. Initially, the deaths are not considered to be suspicious as there is no obvious connection. But soon the hallmarks of murder are discovered.

The hunt for a potential serial killer is on.

Edge of the Land is ideal for fans of Rachel McLean, Simon McCleave, J M Dalgliesh and Ian Rankin.
