DI BEN KITTO RETURNS...
A SACRED ISLAND
Winter storms lash the Isles of Scilly, when DI Ben Kitto ferries the islands' priest to St Helen's. Father Michael intends to live as a pilgrim in the ruins of an ancient church on the uninhabited island, but an ugly secret is buried among the rocks. Digging frantically in the sand, Ben's dog, Shadow, unearths the emaciated remains of a young woman.
A SHOCKING MURDER
The discovery chills Ben to the core. The victim is Vietnamese, with no clear link to the community - and her killer has made sure that no one will find her easily.
A KILLER ON THE LOOSE
The storm intensifies as the investigation gathers pace. Soon Scilly is cut off by bad weather, with no help available from the mainland. Ben is certain the killer is hiding in plain sight. He knows they are waiting to kill again - and at unimaginable cost.

'Dark, intense, and expertly crafted' RACHEL ABBOTT
'An atmospheric and moving depiction of a tightly knit community in a rugged and often dangerous landscape, Deadman's Pool is tense and deftly plotted, the pathos fuelling true suspense' Guardian
'It's always a bonus when a story gives a psychological insight into a place as well as the minds of the characters. In this case it's the slightly claustrophobic intensity of the Isles of Scilly that is expertly revealed through the eyes of DI Ben Kitto in the latest of this superb series' Daily Mail
'Written with all Kate Rhodes' trademark atmosphere and intrigue, this thriller keeps the reader guessing right to the end in a truly absorbing, chilling story' People's Friend
