Kill the King : A Novel

The thrilling conclusion to the acclaimed series that started with Kill the Father, a Richard and Judy Book Club pick and Sunday Times bestseller Detective Colomba Caselli is left reeling after a deadly bombing in Venice. Desperate for insight, she retreats to the rural Italian countryside to nurse her wounds. When an autistic teenager appears, covered in blood, and leads her to a brutal crime scene, Colomba gets pulled into an investigation where nothing is as it seems. As the body count rises, she even becomes implicated in the violence herself. Convinced that someone is working to frame her, and with no one she can trust, she needs to find Dante - but he has been missing for over a year. Certain that he is still alive, she heightens her desperate search to find him. It's her only chance to clear her name - and be free of the far-reaching legacy of the villain known as the Father. Bursting with action, ingeniously plotted, and filled with one unexpected twist after another, Kill the King is a shocking and satisfying conclusion to this breathtakingly original crime series. Praise for Kill the Father: 'Absolutely electrifying' Jeffery Deaver 'A thriller of the highest order. Highly recommended' Christopher Reich 'A mind-bending, stunningly original page-turner' Jonathan Kellerman
