Summary

A father is murdered in the dead of night in his London home, his head wrapped tightly in tape, a crude sad face penned over his facial features. But the victim's only child is left alive and unharmed at the scene.

Met Police detectives Grace Archer and Harry Quinn have more immediate concerns. Notorious gangster Frankie White has placed a target on Archer's back, and there's no one he won't harm to get to her.

Then a second family is murdered, leaving young Uma Whitmore as the only survivor. Once again the victim's face is found wrapped and inked.

With a serial killer at large, DI Archer and DS Quinn must stay alive long enough to find the connection between these seemingly random victims. Can they do it before another child is made an orphan?

Looking forward to the next one.

I really enjoyed this book, although it does seem that Grace would well in ‘The Perils of Pauline’. My one small criticism is the narrator’s pauses at inappropriate times midway through a conversation. It ruins the flow and feels very odd. Apart from that that, a good story and well read.
