Book description
The first victim is a young woman found on Hampstead Heath. Her
throat has been slashed and her body mutilated. This horrifying
discovery marks the beginning of Detective Inspector Jack Delaney's
toughest ever case.
When the expertly dissected body of a second young woman is
discovered in a north London flat with a brightly coloured scarf tied
around her neck, it suddenly becomes clear that a psychopath is on the
loose. There is no apparent connection between the two victims and
there are no clear motives - but the crime scenes tell a terrifying
story.
Delaney, together with forensic pathologist Kate Walker, needs to
act quickly and piece together the evidence in order to uncover the
deadly pattern behind the murders. However, violent events from
Delaney's past are threatening to catch up with him, and he must stay
one step ahead of his enemies if he is to stop the killer from
striking again.
