The highly anticipated seventh novel in the bestselling DI Nick Dixon Crime Series.

A man has been mutilated and left to drown on the incoming tide, handcuffed in his van. With the murder bearing a striking resemblance to a string of sadistic killings carried out with surgical precision in 1990s gangland Manchester, it can mean only one thing: the killer is back.

Transferred to the Major Investigation Team, DI Nick Dixon is assigned a new partner and sent to Manchester. Meanwhile, the gruesome murders in Somerset continue.

Convinced of a connection with the unsolved gangland killings, and with the odds stacked against him, Dixon takes the ultimate gamble, determined to bring the killer to justice before it’s too late.

But is it the same killer? If so, why has he resurfaced now? And how many more must die?

Great book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 September 2017

Verified Purchase

Damien Boyd has written a great series of books. The main characters are very likeable. I find myself worrying about DI Nick Dixon whether he has remembered to eat, use his insulin got something in his pocket to eat if necessary! I also like the fact that he has a dog & a girlfriend, brings a sense of normality to the character. I kept thinking I had this story all worked out but it had a great twist at the end. Would recommend this book but if you are new to this series start at the beginning. I will be reading the whole series again from the beginning. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Brilliant once again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2018

Need I say it once again. I’m not a book reader. However I was introduced to this author and I have loved every single book he has written. I’ve now read all of them and cannot express just how good they are. They keep you hooked from the very beginning and through all the twists and turns to the very end. If you are like me and too lazy to read a book but like crime drama on TV give this guy a go, he’s brilliant, kept my interest right through to the end. Keep them coming matey you’ve got a regular customer here. Goodness knows what area you are going to look at next but I can’t wait.

Heads up on this one

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2017

Verified Purchase

Heads or Tails did not disappoint: the seventh in the DI Nick Dixon Crime Series is a good book on its own but a strong part of the developing story of Nick and Jane which seems to be going from strength to strength.
The hidden twists and turns of this fast moving tale reveal interesting facts and bring out the realities of our outstanding Police, Fire, Coastguard and RNLI who we overlook as they go about their daily business. Steve Yelland was 'man of the moment' here bringing to life the characters of the plot and helping to build another great read by Damien Boyd; who sadly can't write them fast enough for me.
Time to start reading the series again in the hope that story No 8 is on its way.

Welcome back Nick Dixon

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 October 2017

Verified Purchase

I've read the previous six books, so when book seven was announced it was a must. I admire crime writers, the research that must go on to be able get the finite details correct. There is always that twist ... something in the evidence, that turns the story from investigation to arrest, I must admit that there was so much going on at the time, it lost me for a while until I picked up the story line again. A great story line exposing corruption... and Nick Dixon, despite injury (and his own fake death) was able to bring about closure with the aid of trusted colleagues. He needs to look after Jane though, although that was a lovely touch right at the end of the book. Will there be a book 8? Will Nick Dixon become like Dirk Pitt and settle down with his lady? And there was talk of children, or will it be the soap critters twist that just at the happy moment... (spoiler). Thank you Damien for several hours of great reading.

Heads I kill you, tails I don't....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2018

Verified Purchase

Well, that was a brilliant book, full of twists and turns and plenty of action throughout.
It starts off with eel poachers, then a body is found in a van stuck in the mud, and from then on the mystery expands to involving Greater Manchester Police, the IRA, a few dodgy policemen, and a rather gruesome way of murdering people.
DI Nick Dixon is an amiable chap with; compared to some, a relatively normal home life, with his dog Monty and his fiancee Jane, also in the police force. He has a good team behind him, and apart from the odd one or two, are the same people from book to book.
At the beginning, I thought that with more and more restrictions coming in on the use of diesel, Dixon at some point would have to ditch his old Land Rover for something newer. Later on in the book, that decision is taken away from him!
There was a real heart stopping moment in this book, but I will say no more. It was a really exciting book to read, and I can't wait for number 8. It seems there are only a few more days to go before its release. Can't wait.

Great read - a good next book in the series!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2017

Verified Purchase

As with all the other books in the series, this was a great read, with relationships following on from previous books. Whilst there are small references to the stories in the earlier ones, it is not essential to have read them as they are only passing references. (However, I would recommend reading them as they too make excellent reading!). I particularly enjoy the locations - living in the south west, I am familiar with a lot of the places, and that makes the story, for me, even more absorbing as you can picture things happening. Now looking forward to the next one in the series!

Mr Boyd has hit a new level

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2021

Verified Purchase

The contrast from the first book to this is amazing. Damian has improved in all aspects as the characters come into play . This is a great balance of tense action packed page turner and not too heavy personal story line that does leave you drifting off plot. Yet he manages to keep Nick Dixon at a level that you can identify with. The explanation of matters of law when police work is involved really keep the interest levels up.
The story could have been over complex but he manages to keep you on the right thread without any effort. I really could see this being a TV series.
If Damián does read this I wish to say thanks you have upped your game.

I think this is quite well written.
The characters are interesting and Nick has appeal.
But I did find a bit confusing.
This might be because there are a lot of characters, or it might be because it is a series and this is the first book from the series I've read.

One issue I had with it was that at the end you got given the answer to puzzle, but I didn't really feel like there were sufficient clues given to the reader beforehand so they can work things out from themselves. It was a mystery, but I think the readers really should be given more of a fighting chance.
