Human Remains
DCS Kat Frank and AIDE Lock are back in a cutting-edge new thriller.
The truth will always come out, but at what cost?
Fresh from successfully closing their first live case, the Future Policing Unit are called in to investigate when a headless, handless body is found on a Warwickshire farm. But as they work to identify the victim and their killer, the discovery of a second body begins to spark fears that The Aston Strangler is back. And as the stakes rise for the team, so do the tensions brewing within it.
When DCS Kat Frank is accused of putting the wrong man behind bars all those years ago, AIDE Lock – the world’s first AI detective – pursues the truth about what happened with relentless logic. But Kat is determined to keep the past buried, and when she becomes the target of a shadowy figure looking for revenge, Lock is torn between his evidence-based algorithms and the judgement of his partner, with explosive results.
When everything hangs in the balance, it will all come down to just how much an AI can learn, and what happens when they do . . .

Jenn Thornley –
From book club meeting: Although she couldn’t attend tonight’s meeting, we all felt that member Christine Manley perfectly summed up our thoughts on this book…
We were really looking forward to reading this book, having surprised ourselves with how much we enjoyed the previous two in the series. We were not disappointed. It took no time at all to read, held our attention from start to finish and we were gripped, even though we did predict some of the outcomes. However, the ending DID surprise us and left some worrying questions about what form a future version of AI detective might take. The author manages to meld sad and gruesome events with humour, pathos and suspense. We find this series thought provoking and entertaining and could easily see them being made into a successful TV series. We’re definitely looking forward to reading book 4!
