The Christmas Killer (DI Barton Investigations) Release Date: September 2, 2026

Published

A new, twists-galore DI Barton thriller from bestselling author Ross Greenwood.
The winter holidays finally look set to bring a white Christmas, but the beautiful snow hides horrors beneath. When a man is found cruelly tortured and murdered, the Major Crimes team is already stretched thin through illness and stunned by an internal corruption investigation.

DCI John Barton hesitantly leaves his sabbatical to take the case, immediately confronting the same dark secrets that forced him away. The dead man was a loner and the perfect target, but when there is another savage murder, Barton begins to suspect that the killer is delving into the victims’ pasts for a very specific, terrifying reason. And time is running out.

As the blizzard isolates the city, Barton realises they aren’t pursuing a festive fanatic; they are hunting something far worse. With the department gripped by ice and paranoia, Barton knows he is getting closer to the truth, but will he be fast enough?

Because if he isn’t, not everyone will make it home for Christmas.

Barton is Back! Ross Greenwood returns to his bestselling series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Ian Rankin.
