The Taken




The chilling new Hazel Micallef thriller, from the author of THE CALLING

'NIGHTMARE': WHEN FACT AND FICTION COLLIDE

Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef is recovering from a bad year, and a traumatic back operation that has left her in the care of her ex husband and his new wife.

But Hazel is lured back to work when a body is pulled from a nearby lake: a discovery that eerily mirrors a disturbing story printed in the local newspaper.

The author of the tale can't be found, and when gruesome, taunting clues begin to arrive Hazel realises she's dealing with a master manipulator, a crazed soul who knows her every move . . .

Praise for The Taken

Micallef, a nice twist on the traditional middle-aged alcoholic male cop, is wearily, startlingly real

Guardian

Hazel Micallef is a splendid recruit to the ranks of fictional detectives

Literary Review

A terrifyingly addictive series - I'm hooked! Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef investigates the creepiest of crimes

MO HAYDER

Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef, a character one can't get enough of. It's hard, maybe impossible, to think of her equal in crime fiction... keeps the reader's heart pounding from first page to last in a distinctive and superior crime novel
