Dark Winter by David Mark

Synopsis

Hull East Yorkshire. Two weeks before Christmas an elderly man - the only survivor of a fishing trawler tragedy 40 years before - is found murdered at sea. In a church a young girl - the last surviving member of a family slaughtered during the conflict in Sierra Leone - is hacked to death with a machete. A junkie who fled the burning house where he had set his family alight is found incinerated on a rundown council estate. Someone is killing sole survivors in the manner they had escaped death. And it falls to Detective Sergeant Aector McAvoy of Humberside CID to find out whom. McAvoy despite being a six-foot-five man mountain of a police officer is not your typical bullish detective. A shy gentle giant he is a family man obsessed with being a good and decent cop; more dab hand with a database than gung-ho with a gun - traits that have seen him become increasingly isolated from his colleagues in the force. Desperate to prove his worth McAvoy knows he must establish the motive behind the killings if he is to have any chance of pinning the perpetrator. And he must do so quickly as this twisted yet ingenious killer appears to have an appetite for murder.
