What She Saw

LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER, 2014



Peckham, south London. A nine-year-old boy crawls from a burning car and is left fighting for his life. As DCI David Rosen and his team scour the scene of the crime, a graffiti image of a sinister eye is discovered above the site of the wreckage - and with it, a series of mysterious markings etched onto the wall. Could this be a code to catch the monster behind this dreadful act?



When a teenager is burned alive, evidence on his body confirms Rosen's suspicion that something sinister is at work on the estate. Young children go missing in the dead of night. Each second counts as Rosen battles to find the killers and save the missing souls...



Mark Roberts was born and raised in Liverpool and was educated at St. Francis Xavier's College. He was a teacher for twenty years and for the last ten years has worked as a special school teacher. He received a Manchester Evening News Theatre Award for best new play of the year. This is the second novel in the DCI Rosen series after the acclaimed debut, The Sixth Soul.



Another nail-bitingly disturbing thriller... This is one of those stories that haunts you after you finish it.... Highly Recommended



As a big fan of Jo Nesbo and Peter James, I felt this book was up there with the best... I would recommend this book to all readers who like a good crime novel, and look forward to more from DCI Rosen in the future
