Indelibly scarred by childhood trauma and neglect, Karl Connor attempted to flee the dark shadows of his young life, the horrors that he had experienced, and the inner demons that continued to haunt him. As the past and present collide the brutal reality is that the long slide into violence has already begun, but who could have imagined that his desire for perceived vengeance would have such terrifying results. Young women are being murdered in London suburbs and there is seemingly nothing to connect them to one another, let alone the killer whose charming manner hides a warped and sick mind. Detective Inspector Ross is determined to hunt the killer down, jeopardising his career in the process, as he becomes increasingly alienated and obsessed with finding the murderer. It is a difficult time for him and his depleted team as they find themselves caught up in Karl's deadly game of ruthless vendetta and vengeful murders. Soon their lives begin to run on a parallel, which leaves one of his team in mortal danger.

I feel that you will find this to be a tight, tension-building tale that provides both psychological insight as well as a thought-provoking read.

WOW!
This book will draw you right in..
That the cold blooded killer was so intelligent an "normal" on the surface made it that much more frightening! This is a real page turner- I loved it!

This novel will definitely keep your attention. I must confess that I was absolutely fascinated by the prologue, after which it was a hard book to put down. A serial killer stalks London's streets and the author skillfully confronts the reader with a series of horrific murders and leaves no forensic stone unturned as the story hurtles towards a terrifying and nailbiting finale.

I'd waited over eighteen months for this book to be released and I'm relieved to say that it was worth the wait as it worked on so many levels-a tragic love story-a cautionary tale & an insightful psychological thriller. Although it contained some well worn plotlines-world-weary police chief battling his own personal demons-complex killer & romantic interest, it was written with such power, emotion and wit that it never felt staid or cliched and held me totally captivated throughout.
Very gritty and thought-provoking, much in the mode of such writers as Ian Rankine and Val McDermid. For a relatively new author-Very impressive.

Tension...Terror...A great read.
I found this to be a strong well-written thriller that provided psychological insights, fast-pace action and prose that was both sharp and realistic. Read more
