The Replacement by Matt Brolly

The Replacement by Matt Brolly

A body on the beach. A myth come to life. And a killer who won’t stop…

When a mutilated body washes up on Sennen Beach, DS Liam Kilshaw is plunged into a case as dark and unforgiving as the Cornish winter. With the victim’s face so severely disfigured that identification is impossible, whispers of a local superstition begin to surface—the killing bears a chilling resemblance to the legend of Bucca Dhu, a vengeful sea demon said to demand human sacrifice.

But myths don’t murder people. When a second body is discovered just above the high-tide line, Kilshaw knows he’s racing against time. A missing crew member, a lost shipping container and a trail of cryptic clues all point to something far more sinister.

In a place where folklore and reality blur, Kilshaw must uncover the truth—before the killer strikes again.

Following his law degree, where he developed an interest in criminal law, Matt Brolly completed his Masters in Creative Writing at Glasgow University. He is the Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestselling author of the DI Blackwell novels, the DCI Lambert crime novels, the Lynch and Rose thrillers The Controller and The Railroad, and the standalone thrillers Zero, The Running Girls and The Alliance. The Replacement is the second in a new series set in Cornwall, featuring DS Kilshaw. Matt lives in London with his wife and their two children.
