Book description
He was only a pupil, learning from a master who was
uncompromising about the rules of the game he had invented.
Normally he obeyed them, but with her the temptation had been too
strong. Perhaps tonight he might even kill her.
Having survived a terrifying attack as part of an investigation,
Sergeant Louise Nightingale retreats to her remote family cottage to
lick her wounds, comforted in the knowledge that her attacker is
behind bars. But when a serial killer starts terrorising the
country, her colleague, DCI Andrew Fenwick, questions whether or not
they have the right man. For Nightingale, the true nightmare has
only just begun...
Spine-tingling suspense with a dark underbelly of psychological
terror - this is a book you dare not put down.
'A meticulously plotted novel that is deeply unsettling almost to the
final climax' The Scotsman 'Unusual and intelligent...described with
great subtlety. The detection element is cleverly done and the story
genuinely exciting' Jessica Mann, Literary Review
