Dead Lock

DI Nick Dixon Crime, Book 8

De: Damien Boyd

Narrado por: Simon Mattacks

Early on a cold Somerset morning, ten year old Alesha Daniels is reported missing by her father, a violent alcoholic. Her mother, a known drug addict, is found unconscious, but it’s her mother’s boyfriend the police are keen to trace.

As the hunt for Alesha gathers pace, a second local girl is taken, plunging another family into the depths of despair.

Cutting short his holiday, DI Nick Dixon races home to join the Major Investigation Team, but no sooner has he identified a network of local suspects than they begin to show up dead.

At odds with his superiors, Dixon is convinced the child abductions are anything but random, but nobody is prepared for the investigation to lead quite so close to home.

Can Dixon and his team crack the case before all the suspects are silenced? And will he find the missing girls before it’s too late?

Great mystery in every way

Another great British police procedural featuring DI Nick Dixon. The plot seems simple (two kidnappings) but turns out to be complex, giving the listener a puzzle to think about until the end. Expert narration makes this audio version even better than the printed edition. Highly recommended.
