The stunning new novel from the rising star of the crime writing scene, Vanishing Point sees DI Jack Brady investigating the horrific deaths of young women in Whitley Bay–and uncovering a sadistic and powerful human trafficking ring that has its roots in the highest echelons of power... Early on a Sunday morning in the North East seaside resort of Whitley Bay, a headless female torso lies amongst the usual detritus dumped by the Saturday night binge drinkers. Two days later, the body’s missing head appears a mile down the coast–and soon, DI Jack Brady is plunged headlong into one of the most harrowing cases of his career. Just when life couldn’t get any more bleak, news arrives that DS Simone Henderson (Brady’s former lover) has been horrifically attacked by persons unknown and is fighting for her life–yet unable to identify her attackers as her tongue has been cut out. Brady’s investigation uncovers a corrupt and entrenched sex trade run by some of the most powerful and dangerous men in the North East; men determined that no- one, not even DI Jack Brady, gets in the way of their foul business. But when he realises that the roots of evil may be too close to home, can he uncover the truth without his own world falling apart?
