DANCING ON THE GRAVE

a standalone crime thriller from the award-winning author of the Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Fox series


A sniper with a mission…

a young cop with nothing to lose…

a CSI with everything to prove…

a teenage girl with a terrifying obsession…


In one of the most beautiful corners of England

something very ugly is about to take place.


There’s a killer on the loose in the Lake District, and the calm of an English summer is shattered.

For newly qualified Crime Scene Investigator Grace McColl, it’s both the start of a nightmare and the chance to prove herself after a mistake that cost a life.

For Detective Constable Nick Weston, recently transferred from London, it’s an opportunity to recover his nerve after a disastrous undercover operation left him for dead.

And for a lonely, loveless girl, Edith, it’s the beginning of a twisted fantasy—one she never dreamed might come true.

“Like Ravel’s ‘Bolero’, Dancing on the Grave hooks you with incredible magnetism, builds with irresistible tension and then holds you close for a superb climax. High quality entertainment from an accomplished writer.”

Matt Johnson, bestselling author of the DI Robert Finlay thrillers

“I’m used to cool, hard killers—in fiction that is—but I don’t think I’ve ever come across a cool, hard killer as vulnerable as Edith Airey… Bisley-grade crack-shot, she could drop you at half a mile…yet she’s seventeen, the only, lonely child of a dysfunctional family (otherwise known as having a slob for a father) in one of the wilder corners of a wild England. Now…read on…”

John Lawton, bestselling author of the Joe Wilderness and the Inspector Troy thrillers

“Zoë Sharp is the best-kept secret in crime fiction, it’s about time that changed. Miss this at your peril.”

Stuart MacBride, bestselling author of the DS Logan McRae crime thrillers, on Second Shot
