Where the land meets the sea, a killer stalks. He knows his victims darkest secrets, and he’s waited a lifetime to take his revenge.

When a divorced woman is discovered floating in her bath in Stoke, Detective Tom Blake is called to investigate. It appears to be an open-and-shut case of suicide…

…until other women who also belong to the Never Too Late to Find Love Facebook dating group begin to turn up dead at historic landmarks in Snowdonia.

Blake is seconded to North Wales Police to work with DI Robyn Lloyd on the case: instantly, they form a strong connection.

But the detectives soon realise wealthy, English women looking for love are only part of the killer’s evil plan.

The case takes on a deadly new significance when connections to a Welsh terrorist group, thought to be dormant, emerge from deep inside the close-knit community.

But when Robyn disappears without a trace, her life becomes in grave danger.

Will Blake’s trail across the treacherous Menai Strait uncover this depraved killer before Robyn becomes the next victim in his deadly game?

Set amid the spectacularly dramatic coastlines, haunting mountains and historic towns of Snowdonia. This twisting crime thriller will keep you hooked to the end. Perfect for fans of Simon McCleave, Conrad Jones, Jenny O’Brien and Stephen Puleston.
