SACRIFICE – THE FINAL JACK WARR NOVEL

Sacrifice by Lynda La Plante - cover

12 MARCH 2026

Detective Jack Warr and I (and you) have been on a very long journey together since the publication of Buried in 2020. I love this character and spending so many hours detailing his work as a high-ranking investigator dealing with many horrific murder cases, his emotional attachment to every case, has made him into the formidable adversary you read about in Crucified this year.

Ever since that first book, Jack has walked the tightrope between right and wrong, good and evil, light or shadows . . . and as his story concludes, he must finally pick a side. Introducing SACRIFICE, coming 2026.

To write the last novel in Jack Warr’s story has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. Pulled deeper into the world of art fraud, Sacrifice sees Jack put everything on the line. Having spent years establishing his character, his relationship with Maggie, their strength as a pair and as a family unit, this final case asks him to risk it all.

The return of a familiar foe, the ultimate price to be paid, a nail-biting race across the world to see justice served. It all ends here.
