About LAST ONE ALIVE an absolutely gripping crime thriller with a massive twist (Detective Maddie Ives)

DISCOVER AN ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING RACE-AGAINST-TIME THRILLER FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR CHARLIE GALLAGHER. Meet Detective Maddie Ives in this brand-new book that will have you gripped from the explosive start to the most shocking ending of the year. WHEN THEY WAKE UP, THEIR NIGHTMARE BEGINS . . . Daisy-Mae is now sure she’s awake. It’s not the cutting breeze or the musty smell that has her convinced, it’s the pain. You can’t dream pain. She is being held down, something tight over her arms, her chest too. She turns her head for a different view: a whitewashed wall, faded by time, scuffed to add to the impression of a building deserted in a hurry. But there is something in the room that looks fresh: graffiti. The letters spell out three words that are enough to have her retching again: DON’T WAKE UP. A KILLER WHO GETS HIS KICKS FROM KEEPING HIS VICTIMS ALIVE AND GIVING THEM A GLIMMER OF HOPE. The next day Daisy-Mae’s friend also disappears. Twenty-two years ago, New Year’s Eve. Two young women set off home from the nightclub where they worked. Their battered bodies were found five days later. The killer was never caught. IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF? Time is running out. Detective Maddie Ives is their only chance to get out alive. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Val McDermid, Lynda La Plante, Helen H. Durrant, Cara Hunter, Rachel Abbott, Patricia Gibney or Mark Billingham. DON’T MISS THE MOST UNPUTDOWNABLE THRILLER YOU’LL READ THIS YEAR!

THE DETECTIVE Detective Sergeant Maddie Ives was destined for the top. Plucked from the police training college before ever making the street, she was thrust into the world of undercover policing that forces a young woman to survive on her wits. It worked, Maddie seemed to find her place. But a simple mistake saw her once again wrenched out of her comfort zone. From a broken family, now with a broken career — both of which have played their part in conditioning her never to let anyone too close — Maddie finds herself investigating a murder in a new county and in a team full of strangers, hoping her passion for the truth and protecting the vulnerable will be enough. THE AUTHOR Charlie Gallagher was a serving UK police officer for more than ten years, starting as a front-line response officer, then as a member of a specialist tactical team and as a detective investigating serious offences.
