'Menacing, beautifully paced' Daily Mail
A serial killer is at work, and the death toll is rising . . .
The victim has been bound and tortured, the body decomposed beyond recognition.
Then a second body is found. A nightmare is about to begin.
Once a brutal abduction takes place, it becomes a terrifying race against time for forensic expert David Hunter . . .
Menacing, beautifully paced and with characters that wouldn't disgrace the incomparable Michael Connelly, this marks Beckett's transition to established star
