About the Book

“He’s back, Carrie. The Scribbler is back.” DI Gayther and his rookie colleague DC Carrie have been assigned a new caseload. Or rather, an old one … cold cases of LGBTQ+ murders dating back to the 1980s and beyond. Georgia Carrie wasn’t even born when the notorious serial killer began his reign of terror across the East of England. Roger Gayther was on the force that failed to catch him and remembers every chilling detail. Now, after all these years, there’s a sudden death featuring The Scribbler’s tell-tale modus operandi. Can Gayther and Carrie track the murderer down and bring him to justice before the slaughter starts again?

About the Author :
Iain Maitland is a long-standing journalist and is the author of the thrillers Mr Todd’s Reckoning (2019) and Sweet William (2017) and of two non-fiction books on mental health: Dear Michael, Love Dad (2016) and Out of the Madhouse (2018), as well as co-writer of TV script adaptations of two of these books. An ambassador for Stem4, the teen mental health charity, he also speaks on mental health issues in the workplace and on teenage mental health in schools.

Review :
"A brilliant read [… on] LGBTQ+ crimes that traditionally were underreported … Thankfully, times have changed.” One seriously weird killer and an engaging cop-partnership dynamic. Exciting." "Brilliantly creepy" “The cavalier approach to the investigation brings tragedy and further killings in its wake … an interesting twist” "Very few authors could sustain the tension of a final scene over one hundred and eighteen pages. Maitland, however, has the reader bound up as tightly as a hostage, and he never loses that grip … this is an outstandingly good book." The Scribbler is a slow burning, tense and downright creepy thriller. Likeable, engaging protagonists and an unusual villain … shocking, providing more than one OMG moment "I feel like I have just made one of the greatest discoveries on earth … What a mind this author has … a fantastic … dark, gripping, creepy and tense read … another book to add to my favourites of the year." “The Scribbler is well-paced, engaging and punctuated by … pathos, and by turns, unexpected humour, leading to a compelling and incredibly satisfying crime read. Watch out for that ending … Highly recommended.” Raven Crime Reads; Intriguing … It’s a great read "A creepy read with an explosive ending, I was engrossed from start to finish." "Iain Maitland has a delicious and dark style of writing, he tricks you into thinking you are just meandering along nicely … then he jumps out behind you and knocks you sideways as he delivers some dark and deadly punches, then lets you breathe before he does it all over again"
