October 1999

 

It's All Hallows' Eve, and a horribly mutilated body has been discovered at a Whitechapel building site, carefully arranged beneath a taunting message written in its own blood.

 

When DCI Jack Tyler attends the scene, he's left in no doubt that he's witnessing the birth of a terrifying new serial killer.

The media coverage is relentless, and everyone is clamouring for a quick arrest, but the murderer is scarily smart; a ghost who always seems to be one step ahead of the police.

With the top brass breathing down his neck, this case could make or break Tyler's career, but he doesn’t care about internal politics or self-advancement; all he’s interested in is finding a way to stop the killer before he strikes again…

But what if he can’t…?
