The Unfortunate Victims

A cold, brutal killer is stalking the quiet residential streets of suburban London, committing the most shocking and audacious crimes possible. His victims are blonde, single, middle-aged women living alone. His method of murder is simple but effective: he smashes their heads in until they're dead. No one sees him come; no one sees him go. He leaves no clues of any use to anyone.

And the local women are living on shredded nerves.

DI McElhenry would seem to be the ideal victim. She's a blonde, single, professional woman living on her own in the quiet suburbs. The thing is, she's also the ambitious Senior Investigating Officer assigned to the case, and she's determined to catch the killer. It's the case of a lifetime and she'll follow every lead to bring the ruthless monster to justice, come what may.

Without, she hopes, being added to the killer's lengthening list of unfortunate victims.
