What to expect
****
A killer who cuts straight to the bone …
A CHILLING MURDER
When a convicted killer is released and later found brutally murdered, DI Henley and the Serial Crimes Unit are pulled into a deadly investigation with links to other recent attacks – all the victims are connected by the vicious signature left behind by the killer.
A KILLER LURKS
Henley and her team begin to connect the dots between the killings, and realise the murders are part of something more sinister. Each victim has been chosen with a deadly precision, their deaths carved out with a shocking cruelty.
THE HUNT IS ON …
As the rampage continues and the stakes are raised with each new attack, the case spirals into a terrifying hunt for a killer who is always one step ahead. Can Henley and the SCU outsmart a monster before they strike again?
