Description
Dead Gone by Luca Veste is a crime fiction novel and the first book in the DI Murphy and DS Rossi series. Set in Liverpool, the story follows DI David Murphy and DS Laura Rossi as they investigate a serial killer targeting victims connected to the City of Liverpool University. Unlike typical murderers, this killer conducts unethical psychological experiments, seeking not only the bodies but the minds of his victims. As the detectives delve deeper, they uncover chilling patterns and unexpected connections that force them to confront a perpetrator whose cunning and cruelty challenge everything they know about crime and investigation. With tightly woven suspense, psychological complexity, and a fast-moving plot, Dead Gone explores themes of obsession, morality, and the dark extremes of human behaviour.
This debut novel will appeal to readers who enjoy tense, unpredictable thrillers and the work of Stuart MacBride and Mark Billingham.
