Product Information

THE EXPLOSIVE SEQUEL TO THE UK #1 BESTSELLER HOLY ISLAND The past never stays buried for long... Detective Chief Inspector Ryan believes he has put his turbulent history behind him. Then, in the early hours of the summer solstice, the skeleton of a young woman is found inside the Roman Wall at Sycamore Gap. She has lain undiscovered for ten years and it is Ryan's job to piece together her past. Enquiry lines cross and merge as Ryan is forced to face his own demons and enter into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a killer who seems unstoppable. Murder and mystery are peppered with a sprinkling of romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular scenery of Hadrian's Wall country in Northumberland.

Captivating crime thriller
The copy I bought was "used", but in excellent condition and reasonably priced. I've read the first invthe series which I thoroughly enjoyed so wanted to read more, in sequence, "Sycamore Gap" being the second. It's a great novel, exciting, lots of twists and turns and character and setting are well described. I'll be reading g more and definitely recommend.

Even Better Than Holy Island
I read Holy Island and after the shock ending I definitely had to read this book and it did not disappoint. I won’t share the plot as it would spoil it for future readers however, it had me gripped from page 1.

Lovely.
The picture reminds me of walking Hadrian's Wall, and admiring the Sycamore Tree in Sycamore Gap, which is sadly gone!
