Looking for a brilliant bestselling crime mystery with great detectives?
A sweltering summer day on the Hobfield housing estate. New tenant Lisa Woodley is horrified when her cat comes home with a human foot in its mouth.
The foot belongs to 16-year-old Noah Crosby, whose decomposing remains are found in a rubbish-strewn alleyway. It’s not a robbery, as the teen has an expensive gold watch, high-end trainers and a top-of-the-range mobile phone on him. Where did he get such expensive gear?
A letter X is carved into Noah’s flesh. Twenty years ago this was the hallmark of a serial killer who was never caught.
Is he back killing again?
Detective Tom Calladine and his partner DS Ruth Bayliss reach a dead end. People are scared. No one will talk.
Then Tom’s new girlfriend’s shop is targeted — and it’s clear she’s not telling him the whole truth about the attack. Just what is she hiding?
Can Tom and Ruth get answers before the murderer strikes again?
