The Dying Light
Andrew Lowe

DI Jake Sawyer is out in the cold. As winter descends on the Peak District, he finds himself suspended from the force, accused of murder. When two young children go missing, feared abducted, Sawyer must improvise to help solve the mystery. As the bodies of adults start to appear in remote locations, Sawyer suspects a chilling connection to the missing children. With time running out on his bail, he must fight to crack the cases and clear his name. But then Sawyer uncovers the shocking truth behind his mother’s murder, thirty years earlier: a truth that leads him to question his sanity, and threatens to tear his world apart.

Andrew Lowe: "I’ve worked with Bryony on twelve books in total, and we’ve just completed the tenth book in my crime thriller series. It’s a joyful and rewarding creative partnership. Bryony has helped me refine my craft, both in terms of close-up style and big-picture storytelling discipline. She has a copy-editor’s forensic eye for detail but can switch to a reader’s-eye view and tune in to the story’s subtext and emotional impact. Bryony has not only helped me improve and optimise the individual books, she has also worked hard on maintaining consistency and continuity across my series. Her extensive story bible of character profiles and world elements has been indispensable in developing a complex ongoing storyline with multiple narrative threads."
