[Jessica Daniel 04] • DS Jessica Daniel Series · Think of the Children / Playing With Fire / Thicker Than Water – Books 4–6

One boy is dead. A killer is free. Who is next?

Detective Sergeant Jessica Daniel is first on the scene as a stolen car crashes on a misty, wet Manchester morning. The driver is dead, but the biggest shock awaits her when she discovers the body of a child wrapped in plastic in the boot of the car.

As Jessica struggles to discover the identity of the driver, a thin trail leads her first to a set of clothes buried in the woods and then to a list of children's names abandoned in an allotment shed.

With the winter chill setting in and parents looking for answers, Jessica must find out who has been watching local children, and how this connects to a case that has been unsolved for 14 years.

This is book four in the Jessica Daniel series, following on from *Locked In, Vigilante* and *The Woman In Black*.
