Book 1
Jimmy Stone died of a broken heart. Literally - someone put a sharp object between his ribs and pushed hard. He was found sitting in a circle with three other corpses, in the living room of a Notting Hill flat. Notting Hill - with its million-pound houses a hundred yards away from sink estates - is DCS Stella Mooney's patch, so it's up to her to discover who broke this heart of Stone's. But when Mooney's private life gets caught up in the quest to find Stone's murderer, what will it cost her - and those that she loves?
Once she had been beautiful; now she was eight days dead, her body slashed repeatedly. At first, she's just Jane Doe of Notting Hill, then DS Stella Mooney finds a suspect. But while he is in custody, another body is discovered, butchered in the same way. It seems that Stella and her team are looking for that most dangerous of creatures: someone who kills to feed a terrible appetite. In fact they are up against something even more terrifying. There are two people involved; and one of them - the dominant one - is a woman...
