THE WINTER GIRLS

A DCI ALEX WINTER THRILLER

COMING DECEMBER 2026
​

Four girls disappeared within days of their fourteenth birthdays. Three years later, one of them comes home — in a body bag.
​

DCI Alex Winter has never stopped seeing their faces. Disgraced and rebuilding a career she left in ruins with the Met, she takes command of a seaside force in East Sussex.
​

Hours later, a name from the same case turns up dead in the street. The connection Alex makes over his body drags her straight back into the world that took the girls in the first place — cocaine, cover stories, and men who protect each other until it stops being convenient.
​

A teenager with the murder weapon in his bedroom swears he didn't do it. A missing girl's father with too many secrets. A subcontractor whose birthday cakes hide something far worse than sugar and icing. Every lead takes Alex closer to the truth — and further from the girls she's supposed to be saving. Then another girl disappears, and she understands, too late: he isn't silencing witnesses anymore. He's replacing them.
​

Somewhere beneath the streets, in tunnels no map remembers, the missing girls are still waiting. Alex has one chance to bring them home — and this time, failure isn't something she can survive.
​

For fans of relentless procedurals and detectives who refuse to give up: Winter Girls.​
