With Murder Call's Senior Detective Tessa Vance.
'He gurgled once, fought briefly. Then there was only the sound of harsh breathing in his ear, and the terror, and the futile struggle for air, and life, and the blackness closing in.'
"Three killings in three days. How many more?"
A series of bizarre and mystifying murders plunges Tessa Vance into a hunt for an obsessive killer while a terrifying shadow from her past stretches her nerves to breaking point. This is Tessa's first case with her new Homicide division and she knows she has to prove herself, especially to her new partner, Steve Hayden.
The grotesque clues left at the crime scenes lead nowhere. The victims seem to have nothing in common. But just as the investigation leads in one direction, events take a shocking twist and propel Tessa and Steve into a deadly race against time.
