It Was You

A killer creeps ever closer to PI Billy Rucker in this crime thriller with "plenty of twists and genuine literary quality" from the author of SuperJack ( Time Out ).

As she walks home from work, Josephine Thomas is brutally attacked and left to die. Billy Rucker had known her briefly, and he soon hears about the tragedy. At the request of Jo's distraught colleague, he agrees to look into the murder.

After tentative enquiries, things move horrifically close to home. A friend of Billy's is killed. Burying his grief, Billy tackles his most dangerous investigation yet.

But something else is wrong-are these murders horrible coincidences or is he somehow the connection between them? If so, will he be the next target or is there another plan: a vendetta sending Billy's world irrevocably out of control...

The latest extraordinary and gripping Billy Rucker novel, this is a must-read crime thriller for fans of Peter James, Ian Rankin and Mark Billingham.
