Synopsis

When serial killer, Edmund Hart, hanged himself in prison, DCI Jamie Carver thought the darkest episode of his career was finally over. He was wrong. It was the start of something far worse. The last time Carver let a would-be murder victim act as 'bait', it ended badly. Now there's a new killer abroad - ‘The Worshipper Killer’ - and they want him to do it again. Megan Crane is beautiful, darkly mysterious, and prefers to keep her unconventional private life just that, private. But her interests mirror those of the victims, and she inhabits the same, strange world where they lived and died. If anyone can help Carver lure the killer, she can. But what if Carver has it all wrong? What if the killer’s motivations are nothing to do with his victims, but something he can't begin to imagine? And what if Megan Crane has an agenda of her own, one that will take the investigation in a wholly unexpected direction? These are just some of the questions Carver must answer in this gripping first outing for the detective who knows his reputation as 'Britain's Foremost Serial Killer Investigator', is built on sand. When the killer strikes at the heart of the investigation, and Carver uncovers evidence that appears to link the Worshipper Killer with the past he would rather forget, Carver knows that to solve the mystery and protect those he loves, he must confront what he most fears - his own failings.
