Book overview

YOUR NEW FAVOURITE DETECTIVE.

A very windy Welsh island. A divorced detective with a bad knee, three grown sons and two dogs — an Alsatian cross and a Jack Russell who thinks he's a tiger.

And more dead bodies than DI Alan Williams knows what to do with.

FROM THREE-MILLION-SELLING AUTHOR CONRAD JONES, A GRITTY CRIME THRILLER SERIES ON THE SEEMINGLY IDYLLIC ISLAND OF ANGLESEY.

Please note this book was previously published as Nearly Dead.

On a bitterly cold night, a search dog noses out a fresh grave in the woods near Wrexham. The man in the ground took two bullets to the chest . . . but that's not what killed him.

He was buried alive.

DI Alan Williams has seen plenty on this wind-lashed island, but never anything quite like this.

This murder has the fingerprints of Lloyd Jones all over it. The most feared man on the island. A man with a nasty habit of making people disappear. Bones and all.

Now a young mother and her little girl have vanished, and Detective Williams is running out of time.

Because as the case unravels, a darker truth begins to surface. Jones is far from the deadliest thing on this island. He's just the one who buries the evidence.

Someone has been getting away with the unthinkable for years . . . and he isn't finished yet.

Perfect for fans of Simon McCleave, Angela Marsons and M. W. Craven.

THE SETTING
The Isle of Anglesey looks like a postcard: jagged cliffs, snow-capped Snowdonia on the skyline, the foaming sea rolling in off the Irish coast. But danger lies beneath its beauty. The tides that draw the tourists will drag a body halfway across the Irish Sea, the sheltered inlets hide deadly currents, and the inky waters of the Menai Strait cut the island off from the mainland. It's a remote, windswept place where everyone knows everyone — the perfect place for a killer to hide in plain sight.

**About the Author: Conrad Jones**

Conrad Jones is the bestselling author of 36 gritty thrillers that have captivated readers worldwide, with over three million downloads to date. Known for his fast-paced, emotionally charged plots and hard-hitting realism, his work spans crime, terrorism, psychological thrillers, and horror—often inspired by real-world events.

Born in Tarbock Green, Knowsley, and educated in Prescot, Conrad now lives by the rugged coast of Trearddur Bay, Anglesey. His early career took a very different path. After leaving school, he worked as a market trader before joining McDonald’s Restaurants in 1989, where he rose through the ranks to become a Business Consultant overseeing corporate and franchised locations.

In 1993, Conrad was managing the Warrington Bridge Street branch of McDonald's when two IRA bombs exploded outside, killing two young boys and injuring many others. That harrowing experience left a deep mark, sparking a lifelong interest in the psychology of criminal behaviour and the inner workings of terrorist groups. This personal connection laid the foundation for his first series of novels, *The Soft Target Series*, following the elite Terrorist Task Force and its formidable leader, John “Tank” Tankersley—described by readers as “Reacher on steroids.”

It wasn’t until 2007, during an extended trip to the United States, that Conrad began writing. Stranded on a beach in Clearwater, Florida, after his home was burgled and his livelihood stolen, he began his first novel, *Soft Target*, with nothing but time and determination. He hasn't stopped writing since.

Conrad’s breakthrough crime novel *The Child Taker* was inspired by the global disappearance of Madeleine McCann, a case that haunted him while abroad. This novel cemented his reputation for blending gritty realism with emotionally resonant storytelling.

In 2019, Conrad celebrated the milestone of three million downloads across his catalogue. His standalone novels are interconnected, offering readers the freedom to dive into any title in his expansive universe.

A lifelong fan of the horror master James Herbert, Conrad cites *The Rats* trilogy—*The Rats*, *The Lair*, and *Domain*—as the books that first ignited his passion for storytelling. That influence comes full circle in his 36th novel, *The Nest: New York*, a chilling homage to Herbert’s legacy with a modern twist of biological horror and urban dread.

Whether writing crime, horror, or psychological thrillers, Conrad Jones continues to push the boundaries of tension and human resilience.
