He will come for them, one by one…Five shocking murders
Twenty-five years ago, DCI Harry Rhimes arrested Andrew Streeter for the brutal murders of five young people. Streeter’s ‘kill list’ of victims was found in his home, and he was convicted of all five crimes.
A legacy under threat
Now, Streeter’s convictions are being overturned, as new evidence implies the original investigation was corrupt. No one is more shocked that DI Henley. Because this case is personal; Rhimes was her old boss, and he’s no longer alive to defend himself. But when the killings start up again, Henley must face the truth: Rhimes got it wrong twenty-five years ago.
A hunt for a killer
Henley and her team reopen the original murder cases, but they must put their personal feelings to one side. Because the real killer is still out there, and he’s working his way through a new kill list …

Oh my, that is a tense read! The main set of characters all are developing nicely and I’m enjoying the links with future stories that are peeping out here and there too. I have to sprinkle reading like this with romance and fantasy to keep the darkness in proportion to be honest. But there were several times even during this book where I giggled on my commute - mostly around the office banter and snack sharing!
