Blood Never Sleeps by Andrew Lowe

JAKE SAWYER RETURNS IN HIS MOST PERSONAL CASE YET

A detective who can't move on.
A killer who won't let go.

Two years after the explosive finale of Tender is the North, Detective Jake Sawyer has found an uneasy peace.

He's building a new life with an old flame while practising Buddhist philosophy, teaching martial arts, and running an art foundation in his late father's name.

But when an ex-colleague is found dead at his Mediterranean villa in an apparent suicide, Sawyer's fragile calm is shattered, and he embarks on a dangerous private investigation that tests everything he's learned about letting go.

From the sun-soaked terraces of Ibiza to the rain-slick alleys of Manchester, Sawyer uncovers a deadly conspiracy that could reach the highest levels of the UK police. 

But he has a shadow on his back: a bounty hunter who knows about the murderous pact he shares with a notorious fugitive.

As Sawyer's secrets are forced into the light, he must choose between the man he's trying to become and the darkness that has always defined him.

Blood Never Sleeps marks a thrilling new chapter for Britain's most complex detective: a taut and page-turning meditation on justice, redemption, and the cost of keeping the past buried.
