The Dead Place

"A thoroughly enjoyable book from one of Britain's best crime writers," the award-winning author of One Last Breath (The Sunday Telegraph).
"This killing will be a model of perfection. An accomplishment to be proud of. And it could be tonight or maybe next week. But it will be soon. I promise."

The anonymous phone calls indicate a disturbed mind with an unnatural passion for death. Cooper and Fry are hoping against hope that the caller is just a harmless crank having some sick fun. But the clues woven through his disturbing messages point to the possibility of an all-too-real crime . . . especially when women begin to disappear.


This spine-chiller is perfect for fans of Harlan Coben and Robert Crais.
