Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime thrillers with a methodical killer and a detective racing against time to spot the pattern before it's too late.
  • You want a procedural that focuses on the investigation itself, not just the twist, with a protagonist who feels genuinely competent.
  • You've read the previous Sheridan Holler books and want to know what Holler uncovers next.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone crime novels and don't want to start a series at book four.
  • You're looking for psychological profiles of the killer's mind or deep exploration of his motivations.
  • You need graphic violence or gore to feel the tension, as this book builds dread through the puzzle rather than brutality.

About this book

When homeless man Bobby Stover claims his friend's suicide was actually murder, DI Sheridan Holler initially doubts him. However, she discovers a series of deaths in Liverpool, all officially ruled as suicides, that appear to be something far different. The killings span years and are each carefully staged, with the truth concealed beneath an appearance of despair. The murderer is following a mysterious pattern with no apparent end. Sheridan and her team race to decode the killer's logic, but when a crucial piece emerges, they realize five more victims have already been marked for death. They don't know who the targets are or where the next killings will occur, only that they won't stop. Can they stay ahead of this calculating killer?
