Summary
Darkness First by James Hayman is the third book in the McCabe and Savage series
In the dark shadows of a summer evening a young woman named Tiffany Stoddard is brutally slain by a remorseless killer's razor sharp blade.
Learning that her closest childhood friend was nearly killed in the same incident, Portland Detective Maggie Savage rushes to the scene to join the State Police investigation.
Maggie soon discovers the killer's name is Conor Riordan. There's only one problem. Conor Riordan doesn't exist.
The only person who can provide a clue as to who Riordan really is, is the victim's eleven-year-old sister, Tabitha. And now Tabitha has turned up missing.
Soon Maggie and her long time partner, Detective Sergeant Michael McCabe, find themselves in a desperate race against time to find the missing child before she becomes a vicious killer's next victim.
Following the critically acclaimed The Cutting and The Chill of Night, Hayman's third instalment in the McCabe and Savage series, Darkness First, is utterly gripping. Fans of Richard Montanari and Michael Connelly will be hungry for more.
