NO SECRET CAN STAY BURIED FOREVER


Sheffield's Botanical Gardens is an oasis of peace -
until one morning when the body of a young woman is found there, buried
in a quiet corner. Police determine that she's been there for months
and would have gone undiscovered for years - except someone returned in
the dead of night to dig her up.


DS Adam Tyler and his team have many questions to
answer - who is the victim? Who killed her and hid her body? And who dug
her up?


Tyler's investigation draws him into the secretive
world of nighthawkers: treasure-hunters who operate under cover of
darkness, seeking the lost and valuable . . . and willing to kill to
keep what they find.


The new must-read thriller from the bestselling author of FIREWATCHING


Praise for RUSS THOMAS


'I've got a new man in my life. His name is Adam
Tyler. Yorkshireman. Enjoys cold drinks and colder cases. Hangs out in
exceptional debut novels and exceptionaller sequels. Firewatching and
Nighthawking are comparable with the best of Michael Connelly's Bosch
books and James Lee Burke's Robicheaux novels, and - naturally - Ian
Rankin; but there's an elegiac quality here that reminds me of Kate
Atkinson's Jackson Brodie titles and the Dublin Murder Squad novels by
Tana French' AJ FINN


'I loved it! Nighthawking turns Sheffield into a
dark and terrifying underworld, and the plot is wonderfully fresh and
original' KATE RHODES


'Superb. Every part of Nighthawking is so well
woven together . . . the end dragged me around and spat me out a broken
man. Highly recommended' JAMES DELARGY


'In the clever and compulsive Firewatching, DS Adam
Tyler navigates a complex cast of villains and victims in a cold case
that suddenly turns very, very hot' LOUISE CANDLISH


'A pitch-perfect blend of the best of the old and the best of the new . . . I loved it' LEE CHILD


'Devoured in three days. A cracking read with a
terrific new detective lead. Red hot debut for 2020' SARAH HILARY


'A fantastic read with a plot that left me guessing
and a cast of very real and well imagined characters.' JAMES DELARGY


'A great read. Totally absorbed me' CASS GREEN


'Intelligent, pacy and compelling, it's everything
you could want from a crime novel' SARAH WARD, author of the DC Childs
mysteries
