Death at Horsey Mere
When a teenage couple go missing, the police aren’t too concerned. Young lovers often make bad choices.
Then a body is found near a Suffolk lighthouse, and shortly after, two girls seem to vanish into thin air. Freshly promoted DI Ashley Knight knows she has a battle on her hands to keep the public safe, and she’s going to need expert help.
Ashley turns to her old protégé, Hector Fade, seconded from The Met to analyse an avalanche of data. But neither Hector nor Ashley are prepared for the chilling connection his work uncovers to the body by the lighthouse.
Ashley, Hector and the team must break down a fiendishly complicated network of people smugglers, but another victim is found at Horsey Mere and their worst suspicions are realised. A member of the gang has gone rogue and is taking lives for fun. When Hector uncovers a pattern in the choice of victim, time is against the detectives to stop the murderer killing again.
Ross Greenwood is back with a brand new, heart-pounding case for DI Ashley Knight, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Ian Rankin and Peter James.

REVIEW
Trigger warnings: human trafficking, abduction of young women
DI Ashley knight find herself dealing with the seedy underworld of human trafficking in this fourth instalment of the Norfolk Murder series, which really puts her promotion to DI to the test! The lovely idyllic setting of the Norfolk Broads is rocked yet again with murder, this time it has links to a European group that go by the name The Vampires – only it seems on of member has gone rogue and whilst the gang is notorious for prostitution this member has decided that killing for the sake of it is more fun.
This is quite the gritty read, and at times intense but none the less a great tale woven by Ross Greenwood, once again bringing characters together in the toughest of situations as see just how well DI Knight can cope with the promotion.
5 stars
Author Bio –
I was born in 1973 in Peterborough and lived there until I was 20, attending The King’s School in the city. I then began a rather nomadic existence, living and working all over the country and various parts of the world.
I found myself returning to Peterborough many times over the years, usually when things had gone wrong. It was on one of these occasions that I met my partner about 100 metres from my back door whilst walking a dog. Two children swiftly followed. I’m still a little stunned by the pace of it now.
My first book Chancer was written after I decided to do something challenging while my knees permitted. No skydiving for me. I became a prison officer for four years. Ironically it was the four a.m. feed which gave me the opportunity to finish the book as unable to get back to sleep I completed it in the early morning hours.
It’s surprising for me to realise I’ve written sixteen books now. There are three strands, one where the books concern lives affected by prison, and then my detective series starring DI John Barton. The first Barton book, The Snow Killer hit the coveted number one spot on KOBO and AUDIBLE, with the rest of the series not far behind.
I’ve also written four detective books in a Norfolk series now, starting with Death on Cromer Beach. There are two more planned.
My publishers kindly told me I had reached over half a million sales with them in five years in July 2024
I hope you enjoy reading what I’ve written.
