Eeny meeny, miney, moe. Who lives, who dies only I know.

When a doctor is discovered brutally murdered in local woodland, Detective Kim Stone is shocked to discover the victim is Gordon Cordell - a man linked to a previous case she worked on. Gordon has a chequered past, but who would want him dead?

When Gordon's son is involved in a horrific car crash which leaves him fighting for his life, Kim's sure this is no accident.

Then a woman is found dead in suspicious circumstances and Kim makes a disturbing link between the victims and Russells Hall Hospital. The same hospital where Gordon worked.

Kim and her team are still grieving the loss of one of their own, but now they're facing one of the most dangerous serial killers they've ever encountered. Can Kim keep her squad together and hunt him down before he claims his next victim?

Because he's not finished yet...

From multi-million copy number one bestseller Angela Marsons comes an absolutely nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat crime thriller.
