Death on the Camino

A hitman joins forces with the police and the Church to hunt a ritualistic killer along Spain’s Camino pilgrimage route in this crime thriller with dry, dark humour.

Nick Hunter doesn’t believe in God, but someone is paying him to stop a killer who thinks he does God’s work.

A contract in Spain sounds like a welcome escape from Edinburgh’s weather. Being sent over the Pyrenees on foot, carrying a suitcase, is less appealing. Discovering that his employer expects him to hunt a serial killer makes it considerably worse.

Someone is abducting travellers along the Camino de Santiago and murdering those he considers sinners. The killings are ritualistic, brutal and proving difficult to solve.

Nick makes his living outside the law. Now the atheist hitman is working alongside the police and the Church, with few leads and no suspect to put in his sights.

Their best chance is to bait a trap. But drawing the killer out means giving him a reason to come closer, and Nick will need more than a convincing pilgrim’s disguise to control what happens next.

For readers who love:

• A hitman with a conscience.
• Unlikely alliances between outlaws and investigators.
• Ritualistic murders and religious obsession.
• A killer hiding along a pilgrimage route.
• Undercover sleuthing and dry, dark humour.
