ON A TINY ISLAND
An obsessive killer is hunting for female victims. Kitto has no choice but to stop anyone leaving St Marys, but soon another woman is attacked.

NO ONE IS SAFE

PRAISE FOR KATE RHODES:

Gripping, clever and impossible to put down. Ive been a Kate Rhodes fan for years and in Ben Kitto she has created a detective who is just as complex and compelling as Kates elegant plotting and stunning prose. The claustrophobia and paranoia of the island are so brilliant evoked, I could almost feel the tide encroaching as time ran out to find the killer'ERIN KELLY

Absorbing and complex,Hell Baykept me guessinguntil the final pagesRACHEL ABBOTT

'A vividly realised protagonistwhose complex and harrowing history rivals the central crime storyline'SOPHIE HANNAH

'Beautifully written and expertly plotted; this is a masterclass'GUARDIAN

'Expertly weaves a sense of place and character into a tense and intriguing story'METRO

'Rhodes doesa superb job of balancing a portrayal of a tiny community oppressed by secretswith an uplifting evocation of setting'Jake Kerridge,SUNDAY EXPRESS

The whole book tingles with tension. I hope it does for the Scilly Isles what Ann Cleeves did for Shetland'MEL MCGRATH

'I love reading Kate's booksin the way I love reading Sophie Hannah a poet writing crime fiction is a great thing . . . It is at once a locked-room mystery, a story of the returning hero, and an examination of fear and abuse.It has the air of a twenty-first century Agatha Christie'JULIA CROUCH
