"The gripping new dark serial killer thriller from one of the most exciting new voices in British crime fiction.
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?" (allenandunwin.com)
"David Fennell was born and raised in Belfast before leaving for
London at the age of eighteen with £50 in one pocket and a dog-eared
copy of Stephen King's The Stand in the other. He jobbed as a
chef, waiter and bartender for several years before starting a career in
writing for the software industry. He has been working in CyberSecurity
for fourteen years and is a fierce advocate for information privacy.
David has played rugby for Brighton and has studied Creative Writing at
the University of Sussex. He is married and he and his partner split
their time between Central London and Brighton." (allenandunwin.com)
