About this book
<p>'Once again, Michael Wood, the master of horror and suspense, has written a book that put me through the wringer with its taut, horrifying, dark and devious storyline.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>From the dark mind behind the DCI Matilda Darke series, comes the next novel in a gripping new series.</p> Dr Olivia Winter is back. And she's got a brand new case to solve. <br> <br> <p>A BRUTAL MURDER</p> <p>When Isaac McFadden is found with the dismembered body of a young man in the boot of his car, it's an easy conviction for the jury. But, then a notebook is discovered in Isaac's house, and the police believe they have a serial killer on their hands.</p> <p>A CRYPTIC CODE</p> <p>Within the pages of the notebook is a chart written in a code, which DI Linus Sutton believes holds the location of more bodies. Made up of seemingly random words, numbers and symbols, and with a suspect who is refusing to talk, Sutton enlists the help of Forensic Psychologist Dr Olivia Winter.</p> <p>THE FINAL GIRL</p> <p>Having previously survived attacks from two killers, Olivia is the real life 'final girl'. But can she unlock the code before her luck runs out?</p> Praise for The Devil's Code <p>'The crime was brilliantly plotted. I also tried my hardest with decoding the notebook... and when it was all finally revealed, well, I sat back and applauded the author for a job well done.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'Michael Wood deserves to be recognised as one of our best crime writers.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'One twisted but addictive read.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'What a read this was, it chilled me to the bone, the darkness was intense and downright scary. The code was cleverly done and I spent ages trying to figure it out myself, but to no avail.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'It's beautiful, dark but gripping and a real page turner.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'Clever, heartbreaking and - in parts - very gruesome!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'Hooks you from the first page and if you enjoy procedurals with dark twists, you will enjoy this.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'The Devil's Code is not for the faint hearted and is devilishly clever.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'The pace is relentless, fuelled by unexpected twists and dark revelations.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'An extremely chilling read with a twist that will blow your socks off!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'As you are reading it, you think you have it solved but you couldn't be more wrong.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p> <p>'I didn't think he could better the Matilda Darke series which I love but I think Michael Wood might have hit the jackpot again with this one.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p>
