Icarus

Icarus. The boy who flew too close to the sun. The boy who fell to his death. It is a story that captured the imagination of ten-year-old Jack Keller, but one that is also eerily prescient. For a vicious assault resulted in the murder of Jack's mother, sending her plummeting seventeen storeys to her death - right in front of her sons eyes.

Thirty years later, and history is repeating itself in the same horrific manner. Kid Demeter, a physiotherapist Jack helped raise as a teenager, has fallen to his death. The police think it was an accident, but Jack doesn't believe them. For Kid had confided in Jack about his ongoing relationships with a string of women, women he gave a series of intriguing nicknames. The Mortician. The Mistake. The Destination. The Murderess.

As Jack delves into Kid's world, and he realises just how high the stakes really are, he knows only one thing for certain: he must find the killer before the killer finds him, and makes him the final victim . . .
