Devil in the Detail
(2021)(The second book in the Will Traynor Forensic Mystery series)
A novel by A J Cross
Meet troubled criminologist Dr Will Traynor. He doesn’t play by the book, but his dark past helps him capture killers by getting inside their minds.
‘There’s blood. Blood all over. He might come back. Please. You have to help. Please . . .’
Mike Lawrence is shot in the head, while his pregnant wife Molly is left screaming and traumatised.
It’s the latest of six brutal attacks.
The streets of Birmingham have become a predator’s playground.
But none of it makes any sense to criminologist Will Traynor. The other incidents indicated caution and planning. The killer is losing control.
Thrust into a race against time to stop a merciless killer who strikes without warning or remorse, all Traynor has to go on are fractured clues that lead to dead ends.
And it’s the seemingly insignificant details that will lead Traynor down the darkest path of his career.
This unputdownable crime mystery full of twists is perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, Karin Slaughter, Angela Marsons and Helen H. Durrant.
