Long lives are being cut short in this thriller from the bestselling DI Nick Dixon crime series.

A retired teacher is found dead in her Somerset home on a cold January night. At first glance, it is a routine unexplained death and a simple referral to the coroner, until a neighbour reports an unscheduled visit from an occupational therapist an hour before the body was discovered.

Detective Chief Inspector Nick Dixon is convinced the elderly woman has been strangled – a cause of death confirmed by the pathologist – and a murder investigation is launched.

More victims are soon found – a second retired teacher who died in eerily similar circumstances in Devon. Then a possible third victim is exhumed in Dorset.

Leading a regional task force, Dixon must find the connection between the victims. As the coincidences mount, he begins to fear he has stumbled on something premeditated and deeply sinister – a serial killer targeting the elderly in their own homes.

Damien Boyd my only criticism is you don't write fast enough! And would love a mini series on Nick Dixon

I love your books Damien, and this will be added to my collection quick sharp! 😁

Oh Damien… please can we have it early! I swear I’ve been good this year.. #alliwantforchristmas 😉

Is it bad I can’t wait for my next fix!?!?

Oh Heck a 6 months wait ! It’s only JK Rowling that’s had me at the book shop at midnight and Damien Boyd making me check my Kindle at midnight and then start reading !

I refuse to read this tease. I shall wait for the book.

Can't wait for this one sounds as good as all the rest!!!!

And now we wait... unless you need an additional copy checker 🙋🏽‍♀️

I love my occupational therapist, but perhaps I should be more suspicious!

Oooo can't wait, just wished I could carry on reading.

I can't wait! I'm listening to the whole series from the beginning for the 3rd time!!!!!

That’s something to look forward to, have a great Christmas, Damien

What’s the chance of an early Christmas pressie then!! 🧑‍🎄

Pre ordered can't wait

Can't wait x

Preordered ages ago ,can’t wait 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Teasing again 😅

I’m an occupational therapist. Where did you get the idea of an OT from. Can’t wait for this book

Really looking forward to reading this although I don't know how I can wait so long for it to be published, especially when you keep teasing about it! Thoroughly enjoyed your talk at Bridgwater library last week! x

Pre ordered x

Too long too wait 😩😩

I read your 1st book on my Kindle as I was travelling the UK on a rail pass. I missed a lot of great scenery out the window of my train as I was often engrossed in your book! It was a fantastic month long trip and I have been back many times since. I have read almost all your subsequent books since and associate them with the great memories of that 1st book. Cheers

Looking forward to this 😀

Sounding exciting!

Can't wait now I've seen this snippet.

Is it on pre order ? I can’t find it

The anticipation is rising. When will you put out a taster, just before Christmas as a treat for your fans?

Is this the 15th book ?

Roll on!!

Ooo that’s exciting 🥳

yay xx fab news x shame it's not 4th December 😉 x

Brilliant 👍🏻

As a new reader and only on the 8th book I think this is about the right amount of time hehe. In the 30 years I've been alive I've never finished a book. This year I've finished 7 almost 8!! Thanks to you!!!

Yay! I read the words too fast and saw "Dec 4" and then realized it said "Due 4". I got really excited for a moment there.

Can't wait!!! It's awful wishing your life away... but it's worth the wait! Lol

There's me taking a bit of a social media break and you are announcing new books!!! #HowRude Right we need to get this book signing in place so I can get them all signed

Already preordered and can’t wait

If the next months go as quickly as the past ones then it will fly by!

Fantastic news. I'm sure I'd make a really good proof reader. 😊😉

Absolutely cannot wait! Roll on June! 😂😍

Yay! An early birthday present for me! Love it!

So excited.

Can’t wait - ordered mine x

Cannot wait. Xx

Hallooo, hallay. The real wait begins! Yes, yes, I know the wait began about 60 seconds after finishing Nick 13, but the REAL wait begins when we get the official title and book cover announcement. The count down begins when we get the synopsis, and the REAL countdown starts when we get the teaser page. Only 190 days to go.

Can't wait

Woo hoo and it's not Christmas yet!

Can’t wait!!

Fantastic news, and on my birthday too 😝❤️ happy birthday to me 😁❤️👍❤️

All ready pre ordered. My birthday present too myself

How wonderful for you , you are such a celebrity now 😀

What an honour and well deserved, was her husband with her?

So the Zalsahar is well worth a visit yes? Maybe one for next year when next in UK and Somerset!

Oh what fun. Less risky I should think than the squibbing. 😁

It's November!
