Until Death (DCI Kett Crime Thrillers #20) Release Date: September 24, 2026

Coming Soon

Death comes for us all.

In the glorious heat of a Norfolk summer, the Extreme Crime Task Force is facing its biggest case yet: organising DS Kate Savage and PC Aaron Duke’s wedding.

It should be a joyous escape after months of heartbreak. But the celebrations are interrupted by the discovery of a young woman, bloodied and barefoot, who claims she has just escaped from hell.

What she leads DCI Kett and the team to is a nightmare beyond imagination: a house of horrors, and an act of unspeakable evil.

The only thing the girl can tell them about the person who took her, is that his victims call him Mr Death.

A man who is now nowhere to be found.

A monster who has unfinished business.

Kett and the Task Force must hunt down a killer as clever as he is ruthless, and as creative as he is sadistic. And what should be a summer of love quickly becomes the season of murder.

Because sooner or later, everything must die.

The twentieth novel in the internationally bestselling series from multi-million selling author Alex Smith. Relentless action, compulsive mystery and side-splitting humour abound in the books that Thrilling Fiction calls “heart-stoppingly gripping!” from the author that James Patterson describes as “fresh and ferocious!”

Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His latest books, the DCI Robert Kett and DI Harrison Baird thrillers, have monsters in them too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between, he has published fourteen novels for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith—including the number one bestselling series Escape From Furnace, which is loved by millions of readers worldwide and which is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.
