About this ebook
A FRIDAY NIGHT
Karl and his daughter Leah are on their weekly evening stroll through Crystal Palace Park.
A HOODED FIGURE
From out of the shadows, a figure wearing a blank mask ambushes them, armed with a large knife.
A CHOICE TO MAKE
Karl is forced to make an impossible decision: stay and die, or walk away from Leah with a knife at her throat and the promise that they will both survive. Could Karl ever live with himself if he left his daughter? Does he really have a choice?
Soon, more seemingly unconnected and innocent people across London are offered a deal in exchange for their lives. DI Alex Finn and DC Mattie Paulsen must hunt for a killer that appears to have no face, no motive and no conscience before more victims' blood is spilled...
An absolutely gripping and unputdownable crime thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. Fans of JD Kirk, Neil Lancaster and MJ Arlidge will be hooked from the very first page.
