Les grimpeurs le savent bien : à plusieurs centaines de mètres de haut, la moindre erreur d’inattention peut être fatale. L’inspecteur Nick Dixon prend conscience de cette terrible réalité lorsque son ancien partenaire d’escalade, Jake Fayter, perd la vie lors d’une ascension. Dixon a vite l’intuition qu’il ne s’agit pas d’un simple accident mais d’un acte criminel. Les témoignages des personnes présentes évoquent un « fait étrange » qui se serait produit quelques secondes avant le drame et qui l’amène à fouiller dans le passé de son ami.
En enquêtant, Dixon se rend rapidement compte que Jake cachait de nombreux secrets… Et de nombreux ennemis qui n’hésiteront pas à sortir de l’ombre si Nick se rapproche trop de la vérité. Alors que les cadavres s’accumulent, l’inspecteur prend de plus en plus de risques pour piéger le meurtrier et lever l’omerta qui règne sur la ville.
Le dernier vol du corbeau est le premier tome époustouflant d’une série d’enquêtes de l’inspecteur Nick Dixon.

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?
Early on a cold Somerset morning, ten year old Alesha Daniels is reported missing by her father, a violent alcoholic. Her mother, a known drug addict, is found unconscious, but it’s her mother’s boyfriend the police are keen to trace.
As the hunt for Alesha gathers pace, a second local girl is taken, plunging another family into the depths of despair.
Cutting short his holiday, DI Nick Dixon races home to join the Major Investigation Team, but no sooner has he identified a network of local suspects than they begin to show up dead.
At odds with his superiors, Dixon is convinced the child abductions are anything but random, but nobody is prepared for the investigation to lead quite so close to home.
Can Dixon and his team crack the case before all the suspects are silenced? And will he find the missing girls before it’s too late?
