Book Synopsis

''A thrilling new talent'' PETER JAMES

''Dark, compelling . . . one of the best police procedurals I''ve read for a long time'' M. W. CRAVEN

''Creepy, twisted and gripping'' Sun 5-star review


On a cold winter''s morning, the body of a young boy is discovered in Epping Forest.

The body is pristine and peaceful, his head resting gently on a pillow, an angel pendant clenched in his small fist. It is a murder as carefully planned as it is brutal, and there''s one person DI Bishop needs back on his team to help solve such a calculated crime.

Holly Wakefield, criminal psychologist for the Met Police, is better than anyone Bishop knows at getting inside the brains of psychopaths. But with the body count rising, it''s going to take all their strength and resolve to stop the serial killer before any more angels are put to their rest . . .

The second gripping serial killer thriller <

Trade Review

Creepy, twisted and gripping

* Sun *
Dark, compelling and expertly paced . . . one of the best police procedurals I've read for a long time -- M. W. Craven
A must for all crime readers * Woman's Way *
Deftly plotted, propulsive, psychologically astute . . . totally horrifying
Absolutely gripping . . . It reminded me of Thomas Harris - the same combination of terror and the detective pitting wits against a psychopath. I had to keep reading, while dreading what was coming next -- Toby Faber
Another dark, observant and addictive Holly Wakefield thriller which I highly recommend -- Caroline England
Praise for the Holly Wakefield series:
Mark Griffin is a thrilling new talent, destined to become a big name in British crime writing
Mightily impressive . . . deviously plotted, with a bleak thread of intriguing twists * Daily Mail *
Meticulously plotted and devious in its execution, Mark Griffin's debut novel is utterly compelling. I can't wait to read the rest of the Holly Wakefield series
Wow. I read this in less than a day. As many twists and turns as a rollercoaster! A fascinating lead character with a deliciously dark secret. It's the kind of writing which grabs you and won't let you go
