Introducing Criminal Psychologist Holly Wakefield and DI Bishop of the Met Police, a new crime solving duo to become engrossed by. When Holly is approached by Bishop to consult on the violent killing of a doctor and his wife in their home, she knows she’s looking at the work of a serial killer. From there on we’re dragged into a twisting, turning investigation as the team tries to track down the killer. Once I started reading this book I knew I was going to be fully committed to the rest of this thrilling series.
Holly Wakefield works for the NHS as a criminal psychologist specialising in serial killers. She has particular reason to be good at her job - but she keeps that to herself.
When DI Bishop from the Met Police approaches Holly to investigate a recent killing, Holly is horrified by the dismembered bodies and the way they have been theatrically positioned. More shocking still is when the pathologist reveals this is not the first time she has seen these mutilations. It means a serial killer is out there, and they're going to kill again - soon.
Holly is used to chasing serial killers. But this killer has something in common with Holly that she's kept hidden for as long as she can remember. And for the first time since she was a child, Holly is forced to face the darkness of her past...
