Blood Match — Jordan TurnerA Tom Dunn Thriller
When bones surface beneath a Hackney building site, DS Tom Dunn expects a cold case. He doesn’t expect it to lead to his own brother.
A DNA match. An estranged sibling missing for fifteen years. A girl called Sarah Marsh — nineteen, clever, full of futures — who vanished from a Hackney Wick rave in 1996 and never came home. Now she has been found.
And the man who buried her took money for twenty-six years to make sure she stayed lost.
To solve the case, Dunn must investigate his own blood. To find the truth, he must confront the mentor who shaped him. And to get justice for Sarah, he must be willing to lose everything.
“London does not forget. It buries.”
“Taut, atmospheric, and utterly gripping — Turner announces himself as a major new voice in British crime fiction.”

Three books. One detective. The full weight of London’s buried secrets.
A cold case. A DNA match pointing at the detective running the investigation. A girl buried for twenty-eight years. The truth that changes everything.
A mysterious file. A judge with a forty-year secret. A conspiracy running from a Bermondsey school roof to the Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
The trilogy concludes. A name from Dunn’s own past. A dead man’s switch. A network forty years in the making brought down in a single week.
The Tom Dunn series is set in a London that tourists don’t see. The north-west. The canals. The City at four in the morning when the night buses have done their rounds and the foxes own the streets.
