Book description
There is a killer loose on the London Underground. He kills without
leaving any forensic trace, and seemingly without motive. Genecrime,
the UK's elite forensic unit, are stretched to the limits trying to
find one usable clue.
And there is another problem facing Genecrime. Before he was sacked
as head of the unit, Reuben Maitland developed a system to predict
latent homicidal behaviour from people's DNA. Now rogue elements in
the police, believing that prevention is better than cure, are using
Reuben's research to hunt down and incite latent psychopaths beyond
their breaking point.
Reuben must track down whoever is misusing his technology and stop
them before more lives are destroyed. But what he cannot know is that
his investigation will lead him directly into the path of the
Underground killer.
John Macken
works as a scientist in a large windowless building. He is married with
two children. He is the author of two previous books featuring Reuben
Maitland -
Dirty Little Lies
and
Trial by Blood
