When a caring social worker is murdered in what first looks like a robbery gone wrong, Detective Kim Stone senses something isn't right. A second victim, killed with an identical wound, confirms her instincts — she's hunting a calculating killer who leaves no trace, all while an old enemy plots against her from behind bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA victim killed with a single, precise stab to the heart appears at first glance to be a robbery gone wrong. A caring, upstanding social worker lost to a senseless act of violence. But for Detective Kim Stone, something doesn't add up. When a local drug addict is found murdered with an identical wound, Kim knows instinctively that she is dealing with the same killer. But with nothing to link the two victims except the cold, calculated nature of their deaths, this could be her most difficult case yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Kim and her team race against time to find a pattern connecting two seemingly unrelated victims, she is dealt a further blow: a chilling letter arrives from Dr Alex Thorne, the sociopathic psychiatrist Kim helped put behind bars. Thorne has a master plan to secure her freedom — and it involves destroying Kim Stone in the process. Balancing a tense cat-and-mouse psychological battle with a methodical serial murder investigation, Blood Lines delivers the fast pace, sharp plotting and emotional depth that have made the Kim Stone series a phenomenon with millions of readers worldwide. Fans of Mark Billingham, Val McDermid and Rachel Abbott will find plenty to love in this instalment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 5 in the multi-million-copy bestselling Detective Kim Stone Crime Thriller Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, twisty police procedural with genuine emotional depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copy, perfect for series collectors and new readers alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for fans of gritty British crime fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom an author praised by readers as a must-read voice in modern crime thrillers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAngela Marsons is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of the DI Kim Stone series, with sales of more than 5 million copies in 7 years and books translated into 30 languages.

This brand-new paperback set gathers books four to seven — Play Dead, Blood Lines, Dead Souls, and Broken Bones — following DI Kim Stone as she hunts calculated killers and races against time. Fast-paced and twist-laden, it's essential reading for fans of gritty British procedurals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e Angela Marsons' Kim Stone series is a cornerstone of modern British crime fiction, and this set captures the saga at its most gripping. In Play Dead, Stone and her team uncover a scheme in which victims are drugged and buried alive beneath fresh graves, forcing a race to save the next victim in time. Blood Lines raises the stakes as a murder echoes the signature of Stone's most dangerous adversary, dragging her into a battle of wits with a manipulative sociopath while she confronts her own past. Dead Souls turns to darker, historical territory: an archaeological dig unearths a mass grave marked by bullet wounds and animal traps, and Stone must piece together decades-old horrors before more lives are lost. Broken Bones confronts violence against society's most vulnerable, opening with the murder of a young sex worker and the discovery of an abandoned baby on the same freezing night. Across all four novels, Marsons combines forensic detail, believable police procedure, and flawed, human characters to create thrillers that feel authentic and emotionally resonant. Stone herself anchors the series: sharp, guarded, and driven by a fierce sense of justice shaped by her own past. Readers who enjoy slow-burn character studies inside high-tension investigations will find plenty here. This set is a satisfying chunk of the wider Kim Stone saga and a great entry point for new readers as well as a must-have for existing fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour full-length crime thrillers in one brand-new paperback set, ideal for binge readers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows Detective Kim Stone through some of the series' darkest, most twist-filled cases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines authentic police procedure with gripping psychological suspense.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet in the atmospheric Black Country, giving the series a distinctive backdrop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect gift for crime and thriller fans who love character-driven mysteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA great way to continue or start the bestselling Kim Stone series in sequence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e Angela Marsons is a bestselling British crime writer best known for her Detective Kim Stone series, which has sold millions of copies and topped bestseller charts.
