One cryptic note. Five names. Two of those names are already dead.
Detective Barnes has seen some horrific crime scenes. But nothing like this. The dead man is slumped against a wall, head lolling forward, hands hanging limply. He seems to be cradling something in his lap.
Barnes creeps closer and recoils in shock. The victim has been disembowelled while he was still alive.
Four days later, a second body is found in a deserted amusement park on the harbour front. Another middle-aged man. Vicious slash wounds across his chest.
Does Barnes have a serial killer on his patch?
Then a note is delivered anonymously to the station. On it is a list of five names. And a message: He is coming.
Two of those names are already dead. Barnes is caught in a race against time to find the other three before it's too late.
Due to my poor health lately, I haven’t quite finished this book but what I can say, is what a book so far! It’s intense and I haven’t read the previous books but you don’t need to!! I don’t know what to think, I can’t figure it out – so much is happening!!
Oh my goodness! What did I just read? Complex but throughly captivating thriller.

I couldn’t put it down. I do like this series. It was a rollercoaster of a ride packed with twists and turns. This had me hooked until the last page.

it’s a really good story, the plot is very twisted and you are left wondering who it could be and why they are doing this.
