Reviews
"A taut and compelling thriller, as sharp as the thorns that feature in the plot." -- Ann Cleeves, Internationally Bestselling Author of the Vera Stanhope and Shetland series "Compelling, clever. Packed with macabre and fascinating forensic details. A stunning debut." -- Mo Hayder, bestselling author of Gone "[An] enthralling debut.... The skillfully constructed plot complements the intriguing characters, including a deliciously creepy killer who lurks in the background. Dyer is definitely a crime writer to watch." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "With complicated leads and a ruthless killer whose method is barbaric enough to be frightening without shading into the grotesque, this is a debut worthy of sequels." -- Kirkus Reviews "[T]his debut spins to a breathless conclusion. Solid suspense fiction by a knowledgeable duo." -- Booklist "One of the boldest, most inventive serial-killer thrillers since The Silence of the Lambs. Packed with forensic detail, anchored by a protagonist as complicated as she is compelling, this ferocious novel is perfect for fans of Jeffery Deaver and Lisa Gardner." -- A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Woman in the Window "This novel starts off with a bang of a puzzler and keeps surprising all the way through...Very nice start to a new series." -- Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine "This is the ultimate cat-and-mouse game between police and a psycho...but it has so much more. The need to delve into this book and reveal the secrets is difficult to avoid... Just know that whatever you think you know...you will be wrong." -- Suspense Magazine "I love this book. I love the main character, Ruth Lake, and love the dynamic with her partner, Carver. The science of the investigation felt like a Patricia Cornwell novel, as well as the intrigue. I really appreciated the complicated ethics of Ruth, something unique in detective novels." -- Shannon Kirk, author of the international bestseller, Method 15/33, This novel starts off with a bang of a puzzler and keeps surprising all the way through...Very nice start to a new series.

Synopsis
"One of the boldest, most inventive serial-killer thrillers since The Silence of the Lambs. . . . Perfect for fans of Jeffery Deaver and Lisa Gardner."-- A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author A propulsive debut suspense novel, filled with secrets, nerve-jangling tension, perplexing mystery, and cold-blooded murder, in which a police officer on the hunt for a macabre serial killer is brutally attacked, and only his partner knows the truth about what happened--and who did it. After months of hunting a ruthless murderer dubbed the Thorn Killer, Detective Greg Carver is shot in his own home. His trusted partner, Ruth Lake, is alone with him. Yet instead of calling for help, she rearranges the crime scene and wipes the room clean of prints. But Carver isn't dead. Awakening in the hospital, Carver has no memory of being shot, but is certain that his assailant is the Thorn Killer. Though there's no evidence to support his claim, Carver insists the attack is an attempt to scare the detective off the psychopath's scent. Trapped in a hospital bed, Carver's obsession grows. He's desperate to get back to work and finally nail the bastard, before more innocent blood is spilled. One person knows the truth and she's not talking. She's also now leading the Thorn Killer investigation while Carver recuperates. It doesn't matter that more victims' lives are at stake. Ruth is keeping a deadly secret, and she'll cross every line to keep it from surfacing., "One of the boldest, most inventive serial-killer thrillers since The Silence of the Lambs . . . .

After months of hunting a cold-blooded murderer that the press has dubbed the Thorn Killer, Detective Greg Carver is shot in his own home. His trusted partner, Ruth Lake, is alone with him. Yet instead of calling for help, she's rearranged the crime scene and wiped the room clean of prints. But Carver isn't dead. Awakening in the hospital, Carver has no memory of being shot, but is certain that his assailant is the Thorn Killer. Though there's no evidence to support his claim, Carver insists the attack is retaliation, an attempt to scare the detective off the psychopath's scent, because he's getting too close. Trapped in a hospital bed and still very weak, Carver's obsession grows. He's desperate to get back to work and finally nail the bastard, before more innocent blood is spilled. One person knows the truth and she's not telling. She's also now leading the Thorn Killer investigation while Carver recuperates. It doesn't matter that Carver and the rest of the force are counting on her, and that more victims' lives at stake. Ruth is keeping a deadly secret, and she'll cross every line--sacrificing her colleagues, her career, and maybe even her own life--to keep it from surfacing. Utterly engrossing and filled with masterfully crafted surprises, Splinter in the Blood is a propulsive roller-coaster ride, filled with deception, nerve-jangling tension, perplexing mystery, and cold-blooded murder.
