Description
There’s a killer on the loose on the streets of Swansea and he is leaving clues. Detective Inspector Gus Reid and his team have a gruesome murder on their hands but no suspects and no obvious motive. All they have to go on is a series of literary quotations that appear like graffiti on walls throughout the city.
Can Gus’s daughter, an expert in Renaisance literature, help solve the crime? Or will she become the next victim?
The Killer believes he is much cleverer than the ‘police detectives’. But is he too clever for his own good?
Welsh crime writing is at the cutting edge of where crime fiction is at the moment. ‘ Now there is a new name to add to the impressive list of Welsh crime writers. Lloyd Rees’s first thriller is a real page-turner.
Reviews
A highly intelligent and satisfying story. Lloyd Rees’s sharp eye and subtle characterisation are a joy. This beautifully written novel captures the edgy drabness of a provincial city, fearful and confused by unexpected murder.’ Geoff Brookes
‘Gripping and frightening in equal measure.’

Myfanwy Alexander (For Nation Cymru) –
This is a highly readable, well-conceived book with engaging characters and a rip-roaring, pacey plot.
