BOOK 2 IN THE DI JIMMY BLISS SERIES

A dozen years after leaving Peterborough under a cloud, DI Jimmy Bliss returns to the city and is plunged straight into the heart of a serial murder investigation. DS Penny Chandler notices a possible connection between Bliss’s case and a series of rapes. Could the same man be responsible?

With both operations on the verge of stalling, a call comes in from an ex-policeman who knows of unsolved cases in the USA, each with an MO similar to their own. Desperate for answers, Bliss and Chandler travel to California to hunt for a killer whose reach may have stretched further than anyone could possibly have known.

But when Bliss starts piecing things together, he has no idea how quickly events will start to unravel back home. The closer they come to their suspect, the more they lure the monster into the open. A monster looking for a way out, and one final bid for notoriety...
