What you need to know before your trail

1985: A female assassin hunts down her next victim. Known as the Head Hunter, she mercilessly  tracks her victims until they are too exhausted to fight back

2001: Kerry, a sixteen year old girl is now running across the very land where the HeadHunter once roamed. She stumbles upon something and when it turns out to be a human head, the police are called and the whole nightmare starts again

Then, Claire Lumsdon, Kerry’s sister, is violently kidnapped – she’s not the first and she won’t be the last. So Kerry is drawn into a world she never knew existed and certainly never thought she’d be part of.

Travel Guide

Welcome to the Seahills estate in Houghton le Spring. The residents are a close-knit bunch and this estate is like taking a bite out of the working class of the North East or anyone else.  The estate is fictional and once you spend time there, fascinating though it is, you will be glad.

This is quite the estate – Seahills is a scum ridden council estate in the town of Houghton le Spring. But it’s not just the residents hanging out around here. There are gangsters who are taking young girls..

DI Lorraine Hunt is a gritty, no nonsense woman and a even more no nonsense police officer who knows her patch well and lives and breathes the area and its people.

The book also showcases well the Geordie accents and the unique vernacular of both Sunderland and Houghton le Spring. Now then pet, enjoy this novel and indulge yourself in Northern Grit.
