Synopsis

The sergeant took some from each box and spread them around the floor so they could all see. Dozens upon dozens of them. DI Rachel Narey’s guess was that there were a few hundred in all. 

Photographs.

Many of them were in crowd scenes, some just sitting on a park bench or walking a dog or waiting for a bus or working in shops. They seemed to have no idea they’d been photographed.

All women. All attractive. All between their late teens and early thirties.
Hundreds of them.

A dawn raid on the home of a suspected rapist leads to a chilling discovery, a disturbing collection hidden under floorboards. Narey is terrified at the potential scale of what they’ve found and of what brutalities it may signal.
    When the photographs are ruled inadmissible as evidence and the man walks free from court, Narey knows she’s let down the victim she’d promised to protect and a monster is back on the streets.
    Tony Winter’s young family is under threat from internet trolls and he is determined to protect them whatever the cost. He and Narey are in a race against time to find the unknown victims of the photographer’s lens – before he strikes again.

 Praise for Craig Robertson:
'I can't recommend this book highly enough' Martina Cole

'Really enjoyed Murderabilia - disturbing, inventive, and powerfully and stylishly written. Recommended' Steve Mosby

Reviews

I have a BIG Confession to make “I have never read a book written by Craig Robertson” what a terrible book blogger I am! so my apologises to Mr Robertson in my defence I would say “I have so many books, but so little time”. Anyway I have now rectified the situation by reading The Photographer and I’......more

Goodreads review by Liz

The Photographer was bang on target, highly addictive, horrifically beautifully written and to be honest my favourite of this series to date. Craig Robertson tackles some currently relevant and highly emotional themes here, with a novel that is not a “whodunnit” but a “how will they catch him” story......more

It’s been far too long since I read a Craig Robertson book and so I couldn’t resist bumping The Photographer to the top of my TBR. What a 24 hours it has been reading this book, I’ve been addicted to the story and have tried to read it at every available opportunity. The Photographer is a timely rea......more
