Stone Cold Dead
Description
With Detective Robert Kett out of action a murder case falls to his detective colleagues, Kate Savage and Pete Porter. Norfolk is in the midst of a brutal winter, and the frozen body is discovered on the legendary Stone of Lyng. It quickly becomes clear that the young man wasn't just killed, he was sacrificed.
And he isn't alone.
Within a week, another mutilated dead man is found on one of Norfolk's ancient stones. Somebody is acting out a ritual, and if Savage and Porter can't stop them then more people will die. Because if the stories of the stones are to be believed, the Hateful Thing is coming - a killer whose thirst for murder and mayhem knows no bounds.

Person
Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn't particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His latest books, the DCI Robert Kett thrillers, have monsters in them too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between, he has published fourteen novels for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith - including the number one bestselling series Escape From Furnace, which is loved by millions of readers worldwide and which is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.
