Pre-order the gripping and masterfully-crafted new thriller from award-winning author Matthew Frank

Julian Sinclair is a serial killer - charming, manipulative, deadly. He hunted girls for sport, and it's high time justice was served.

But when Sinclair's conviction is thrown out in court, DC Joseph Stark and DS Fran Millhaven find themselves forced to protect the man they're sure is guilty from those who would see him pay in blood.

Then another girl dies.

And Sinclair can't have killed her from his hospital bed.

Is a killer lurking inside someone they never suspected?

And have they had the wrong man all along?
