A wealthy family has been savagely murdered. The only survivor, a 19-year-old girl, sexually assaulted but left alive by the killer. An abundance of forensic evidence points to an escaped convict. This should be an easy case for Detective Inspector Turnbull of the Bradford Murder Squad - why, then, does he find resistance wherever he turns?

Author James Stewart continues with his Detective Inspector Turnbull series of crime and punishment in Slaughter. But this time, the unflagging officer finds that not every criminal is bound by the same measure of law.

Something mysterious is happening within this investigation. Justice is kept at arm's length by obscure parties hampering the case. What will Turnbull find as he digs through an ever-growing pile of secrets? Will the killer get what he deserves for Slaughter?

In an almost unprecedented career move, a Senior Yorkshire Judge has turned himself into a prolific novelist. James, who as a QC worked out of the top Leeds Chambers at Park Court, was involved in many high profile criminal cases all over the UK and in the South Pacific. Then, as a Judge, he presided over some of the notorious murder cases that came before the Bradford and Leeds Courts. The experience of these cases lies behind all his novels. The first, The Honour Killing came out in late 2017 (under a pseudonym J S Hamilton), to be followed by Missing, about a vanished au pair girl, and then Slaughter, soon to be followed by Ripper2 (all written under the name James Stewart).
