A terrifying accident . . .

Alex Mullins knows she is one of the lucky ones. When a fatal coach crash at her school reunion killed several of her classmates, she was saved from a grisly fate.

A mystery waiting to be solved . . .

Now a police officer in Gloucestershire, Alex fights to overcome the past by helping other people. But when her path crosses with someone who was there that fateful night, her new life begins to unravel at the seams.

What really happened the night of the crash? And what does she have to do for the petrifying Bonehead to finally leave her be?

A new crime thriller from the Queen of Fear - prepare to be terrified by Bonehead . . .

Review :
PRAISE FOR BONEHEAD - Hayder's untimely death in 2021 robbed us of an imagination unparalleled in both its darkness and its audacity. Her final novel is as haunting and distinctive as its predecessors.... A classic Hayder shocker [Bonehead] is a triumph . . . Spooky and unsettling, the book is a spectacular end to Hayder's career As shocking and sinister as anything Hayder has written. It is an unexpected, bittersweet treat to be back in the hands of one of our very best crime writers Hayder was one of the UK's most accomplished crime writers, and her final book, Bonehead, proves to be among her most memorable A disturbing and compelling farewell The writing is restrained but beautifully descriptive, the pace varied according to the tensions it is intended to create . . . the talent at work here is remarkable Bonehead is a triumph, with Mo Hayder's customary sleight of hand, attention to detail, and brilliantly authentic character creation. It perfectly wraps urban myths within the frailty of men's follies, and weaves a tale that unfolds piece by piece until you can bear it no more and rush through to the final, extraordinary pages. If this had to be Mo Hayder's legacy, then it's a fitting one. I inhaled this book. Deliciously dark and horrifying, perfectly balanced and plotted. Stayed with me long after I'd finished reading A rivetingly dark read; I was sucked in by its python-like coils and taken somewhere very dark; I ended up racing to the end, knowing something terrible was coming. A powerful story with memorable characters, not least the glowering forest, and a terrific back story. Mo Hayder's final hurrah is truly chilling, a dark and gripping read that left me guessing at every turn. I'm privileged to have received this very special read. This is everything you expect from a Mo Hayder: a little bit weird, a little bit nasty, with characters you love from the off. Creepy as hell. And an ending that made my blood run cold A tour de force . . . A riveting blend of folklore and thriller PRAISE FOR MO HAYDER Mo Hayder has a profound ability to shock and surprise her readers. She's the bravest writer I know Hayder's work and characters are worth the unending nightmares they will inspire Hayder is one of the most skilled crime writers at escalating unbearable tension . . . nothing short of brilliant With Mo Hayder you never know where you are going until you get there. A chiller to the very end Haunting, lyrical, disturbing, important, suspenseful and wonderfully written Left me stunned and haunted. This is writing of breathtaking power and poetry An authentically disturbing, gripping winner
