Black & Blue

James Patterson’s BookShots. Short, fast-paced, high-impact entertainment.

A beautiful young woman is found murdered on a river bank, and Detective Harriet Blue is convinced she's the next victim of the worst serial killer Sydney has seen in decades.

But the more Harriet learns, the more she realises this murder is not what she first thought. And her own life might be tangled up in the case.
