Description
CAN YOU TRUST A KILLER TO CATCH HIS OWN COPYCAT?
The utterly gripping new Murder in Yorkshire crime novel by the brilliant Lesley McEvoy - for fans of Happy Valley.
___________________
Jacob Malecki killed fifteen people over a thirteen-year period. At the height of the murders, Dr. Jo McCready was at university and compiled a profile of Malecki, which broke open the case and helped send him down for life.
Twenty-five years later a copycat killer is re-creating Malecki's murders. As the bodies pile up, Malecki makes the police an extraordinary offer: to help catch the killer from his own prison cell.
Malecki claims he's repenting for his crimes. Jo doubts it, but as the body count rises, she can't ignore the killer's offer. What does Malecki really want - and can Jo find out before anyone else dies?

About the Author
Lesley McEvoy was born and bred in Yorkshire and has had a passion for writing in one form or another all her life. The writing took a backseat as Lesley developed her career as a Behavioural Analyst / Profiler and Psychotherapist - setting up her own Consultancy business and therapy practice. She has written and presented extensively around the world for over 25 years specialising in behavioural profiling and training, with a wide variety of organisations. The corporate world provided unexpected sources of writing material when, as Lesley said - she found more psychopaths in business than in prison! Lesley's work in some of the UK's toughest prisons was where she met people whose lives had been characterised by drugs and violence and whose experiences informed the themes she now writes about. Deciding in 2017 to concentrate on her writing again, Lesley produced her debut novel, The Murder Mile.
These days she lives in Cheshire with her partner but still manages to lure her two grown up sons across the Pennines with her other passion - cooking family dinners.
