Blood Sentence by Keith Nixon
Three bodies, one suspect. That suspect is you…
When the unidentified corpse of an apparent suicide victim is found hanging above a complex pattern of forty photographs of children, Detective Inspector Jonah Pennance of the Met’s specialist Sapphire Unit is brought in to investigate.
A post-mortem reveals the suicide was murder, and Pennance realises he knows the man. But as the body count rises, all the signs point to a care home in Kent – a place that Pennance is all too familiar with.
The problem is the only person connecting the victims is Pennance – and he has a solid motive for wanting them dead… Can Pennance prove his innocence?
Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, and Peter James Blood Sentence is the first book in the explosive series featuring Detective Inspector Jonah Pennance.

Review
‘Blood Sentence’ is a brilliant start to a new police procedural series featuring DI Pennance. It was compelling, well written, fast paced and did not disappoint with its narrative and complex characters. I would fully recommend this book and I certainly look out for the next one in the series. This is the first book I have read from this author but I might go and look at his back catalogue as I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
