Leeds 1980

Women don’t go out at night.

Ripper’s out there. Yorkshire ripper.

People are frightened. People are angry. Yorkshire police haven’t laid a glove on him. Someone’s got to take the blame. And someone’s got to police the police.

Step forward Peter Hunter, the honest copper. Hunter digs deep into West Yorkshire police and finds corruption, murder and cover-up. Hunter digs too deep. And the West Yorkshire police look after their own…

Hunter. Hunted. Haunted.

The third novel in David Peace’s acclaimed Red Riding Quartet sees Yorkshire terrorised by the Ripper while the corrupt police familiar from Nineteen Seventy Four and Nineteen Seventy Seven continue to prosper. Weaving his own extraordinary fiction around the terrible history of the time, David Peace has once again produced a thriller that goes above and beyond the limits of the genre to provide an unforgettably stark, strangely poetic portrait of a time and a place, and a world gone wrong.

To give the case some new life, Peter Hunter, a “clean” cop from nearby Manchester, is brought in to offer a fresh perspective. As he goes about setting up a new case under the radar, he suffers the same fate as those who previously attempted to get in the way of the Ripper: his house is burned down, his wife threatened. But he soldiers on. And as he comes face to face with unthinkable evil, Hunter struggles to maintain his reputation, his sanity, and his life.
