Book description
Rush hour on the underground and a killer is at large in London,
striking apparently haphazardly in a series of vicious attacks. Andy
Brewster, ex-SAS, on sick leave from active service in Iraq, works
undercover for the Metropolitan police with his bomb expert partner,
Burgess. Together they must find the killer before he strikes again. So
far the victims have all been women with no apparent connection. Beth
Hardy, former caterer who now runs a gourmet food shop; her daughter
Imogen, dancing at the National; sad Celeste with her terrible secret;
widowed Margaret, in to shop; and American tourist, Ellie, stranded
there alone. Each of them regularly travels by tube not knowing they
could be potential victims. When the July 7 bombs go off and public
awareness is raised, Brewster and Burgess have a race against time to
apprehend the stalker. But danger comes not just from knives and bombs.
Murder is deadlier when the heart is involved. Carol Smith is the
author of 11 novels for Little, Brown, most recently Fatal Attraction,
Without Warning and Vanishing Point.
