About this ebook

'James just gets better and better . . . One of very few crime novelists who really understands the genre'
IMRAN MAHMOOD, author of YOU DON'T KNOW ME

'James Oswald has carved out his own unique space in the crime fiction landscape'
ROBBIE MORRISON, author of EDGE OF THE GRAVE

'He approaches crime like no one else in the genre, and has gone from a promising and unusual voice to a must-read veteran whose books I will recommend to readers everywhere'


R. D. McLean, author of THE FRIDAY GIRL

--------

When the wife of a high-profile adventurer and TV historian is reported missing, DCI McLean is called upon to investigate. But with no sign of foul play, the case is handed over to a private investigator and seemingly wrapped up.

Meanwhile, it's quickly overshadowed by a much more sinister one. A series of violent attacks is leading to innocent civilians being hospitalised, each with identical slash wounds across their arms, legs and torso that refuse to heal.

The brutal attacks have too much in common to be coincidental. As they continue, and public frenzy grows, the pressure is building. Can Inspector McLean pull together the clues before the attacker strikes again?
