An absolute master of pace, plotting and character ELLY GRIFFITHS

ON A REMOTE ISLAND

When Jez Cardews boat is found drifting empty on the Atlantic Ocean, DI Ben Kitto and his fellow lifeboat crew members immediately fear the worst. After an extensive search yields no results, the team are forced to retreat to dry land as darkness sets in.

THE OCEAN IS MERCILESS

But Kitto cant let it go. Why would Jez an experienced sailor get into difficulty when the sea has been calm for weeks? Unless his disappearance was no accident.

BUT SO ARE THE PEOPLE . . .

The gruesome discovery of a hand washed ashore on the beach confirms his hunch. Because a medal is attached to the index finger, and it can only have been placed there by the killer.

This strange clue is the only lead to an agenda as cold as the ocean itself. Kitto must work fast, before the small, isolated community closes ranks. And its only a matter of time before the murderer among them strikes again . . .

Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Ann Cleeves and Elly Griffiths, this gripping new locked-island mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat until the bitter end.

Hangman Island Reviews

PRAISE FOR KATE RHODES

Clever, atmospheric and compelling WOMAN'S WEEKLY

Expertly weaves a sense of place and character into a tense and intriguing story METRO

Rhodes does a superb job of balancing a portrayal of a tiny community oppressed by secrets with an uplifting evocation of setting JAKE KERRIDGE, SUNDAY EXPRESS

A vividly realised protagonist whose complex and harrowing history rivals the central crime storyline SOPHIE HANNAH, DAILY EXPRESS

Rhodes is a published poet and every one of her sentences sings FINANCIAL TIMES

Gripping, clever and impossible to put down . . . The claustrophobia and paranoia of the island are so brilliantly evoked, I could almost feel the tide encroaching as time ran out to find the killer ERIN KELLY

The whole book tingles with tension. I hope it does for the Scilly Isles what Ann Cleeves did for Shetland MEL MCGRATH

Evocative, immersive, twisty SARAH VAUGHAN

One of the most absorbing books Ive read in a long time MEL SHERRATT
