'This is one of the most thought-provoking, powerful serial killing murders I've ever read. It's brutal, but I found that the plot was so deep, so twisted, intense and clever that there was no way I could put the book down until the final page' BESTSELLING CRIME THRILLERS.
Book 2
Why can't she say what she saw?
She watched her father die...
Leonard Lawson was a respected professor of medieval art. He lived a quiet life in a suburb of Liverpool with his grown-up daughter. He had no enemies.
Louise Lawson witnessed her father's murder. Before she blacked out, she saw his body mutilated and deformed, twisted into a parody of the artworks he loved.
DCI Eve Clay must overcome her own demons to decode a message written in blood – before another life is taken.
Book 3
A serial killer. A hero to some. A wanted criminal to others.
The man who calls himself Vindici broke out of prison last year. Now he's filmed himself torturing and killing paedophiles in Liverpool's affluent suburbs.
Half the city are celebrating: the streets are now safer for their children. But for DCI Eve Clay and her team at the Merseyside Police, it's a nightmare. Their job is to solve crimes and lock up the killer – hard enough without being despised by the public they are trying to protect.
And now, just when they think they've cracked the case, they receive a photo of Vindici at a Day of The Dead parade in Mexico. If Vindici is 5,000 miles away, who are they hunting in Liverpool? DCI Eve Clay must draw on all her cunning to unmask a killer who is somehow always one step ahead.
Book 4
Before night falls, someone will die...
In a deserted playground, a young Czech girl cowers by the swings. She has been missing for eight days. No-one knows what she has seen, and she is refusing to speak.
DCI Eve Clay is on her way to meet the girl, when another case is called in. Two migrant workers are dead, and a sinister message has been discovered at the scene: killing time is here, embrace it.
How long does Eve have before the killers strike again?

His crimes are escalating – and Eve has to stop him before another girl dies. But first she needs to find him. And that means going undercover online, and posing as his perfect victim...
