Vanishing Point by Danielle Ramsay

The stunning new novel from the rising star of the crime writing genre, Vanishing Point sees DI Jack Brady investigating the horrific deaths of young women in Whitley Bay - and uncovering a sadistic and powerful trafficking ring that has its roots in the highest echelons of power... "Moaning, she lifted her aching head up off the cold tiled floor. In the background the razor sharp noise of dripping water echoed again and again. All she knew was that she was hurting. Really hurting. That was when she realised that her tongue was missing..." Early on a Sunday morning in the North East seaside resort of Whitley Bay, a headless female torso washes up on the beach. Two days later, the body's missing head appears a mile down the coast - and with that, DI Jack Brady is plunged into one of the most harrowing cases of his career.
