Book description
When a twisted serial killer starts to prey upon the city's vulnerable
women, the media quickly dub him The Edinburgh Ripper. But when he gets
closer to her own family, lawyer Brodie McLennan must fight to unmask him.
Four days before Christmas, a young woman's body is found in a ditch in
the grounds of Edinburgh Castle, the discovery rendered even more
terrifying by the message 'More Will Die' written on her body in blood.
Soon, the prophecy is fulfilled, more young women disappear - all
redheads - their bodies later found bludgeoned to death, their feet severed.
Quickly dubbed 'The Edinburgh Ripper', the murders bring the city to
its knees. It might be the season of goodwill but its citizens live in
fear of becoming the latest victim.
Headstrong young lawyer Brodie McLennan teams up with DI Duncan Bancho
in an effort to discover the identity of this warped killer. Soon, their
investigations uncover a ring of human traffickers, selling Eastern
European women as sex slaves, a depraved group called the 'Hobbyists'
and a clandestine internet chat room.
Unbeknownst to Brodie, the killer's web is spinning ever closer to her
and her teenaged half sister Connie, recently back in her life. When
Connie is reported missing, Brodie must quickly uncover the Ripper's
identity - before her own flesh and blood becomes the latest victim.
