About the Book

A gripping British crime thriller set in Suffolk’s mysterious Rendlesham Forest, Mad Dogs follows DI Harrison Baird as he races to solve a deadly midnight attack and abduction while a ruthless killer—and the detective’s own dangerous past—close in.

The past always comes back to bite you…


Still reeling from the horrors of his last case—and from a run-in with his nemesis—all DI Harrison Baird wants to do is enjoy some quiet time by the coast, and plan his return to Aberdeen.

But the Suffolk wilds have something else in store for him: three people attacked at midnight in Rendlesham Forest, a place famous for extraterrestrial encounters. One is badly injured. One is dead.

And one has been abducted.

With time running out to find the missing man, and all evidence pointing to something inexplicable, Baird and the Southwold Major Investigation Team must use all of their resources to track down a vicious killer.

The case is the least of Baird’s worries, though. His encounter with DCI Kett has set in motion a terrifying chain of events in the peaceful seaside town.

Death is inevitable. The only question is whose.

Cornered by mad dogs and Englishmen, Baird must confront his past if he has any hope of making it back to his homeland alive.

But by doing that, all hell is about to break loose…

Mad Dogs is the explosive third book in the bestselling DI Harrison Baird series, from the multimillion-selling thriller author Alex Smith, with all the compulsive mystery, gripping action and hilarious comedy readers have come to love. Find out what happens when two ruthless detectives go head-to-head in the showdown of the year!

About the Author

Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six, and even though it wasn’t very good it did have monsters in it. It was a sign of things to come, as he spent most of his twenties and thirties writing horror books for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith, including the award-winning series Escape from Furnace. It was only after he had his three daughters that he thought about writing a series of thrillers about a detective with young children, and DCI Robbie Kett was born. The series includes Paper Girls, Bad Dog, Three Little Pigs, Whip Crack, Run Rabbit Run, Stone Cold Dead, Every Mother's Son, Sweet Briar Rose, Jaw Breaker, Knock Knock, King Rat, Knuckle Bones, Lucky Number Seven, Unholy Saints, Truly Madly Deadly, Every Last Devil, Red Line, Cold Iron Kills, Tin Soldiers, and Until Death Smith. Smith lives in Norwich with his family, where he spend half of his time writing and the other half trying to keep up with his three girls. Get in touch with him at AlexSmithBooks.com.
