Detective Constable Ash Henderson has a dark secretâŠ
Five years ago his daughter, Rebecca, went missing on the eve of her thirteenth birthday. A year later the first card arrived: home-made, with a Polaroid picture stuck to the front â Rebecca, strapped to a chair, gagged and terrified. Every year another card: each one worse than the last.
The tabloids call him âThe Birthday Boyâ. Heâs been snatching girls for twelve years, always just before their thirteenth birthday, killing them slowly, then torturing their families with his homemade cards.
But Ash hasnât told anyone what really happened to Rebecca â they all think she ran away â because if anyone finds out, heâll be taken off the investigation. And heâs sacrificed too much to give up before his daughterâs murderer gets what he deservesâŠ
Twelve years. Twelve dead girls. Thirteen will be unlucky for some. The Number One bestselling crime thriller from the award-winning Stuart MacBride. A bloody, brilliant and brutal story of murder, kidnap and revenge.
