DCI Jack Hawksworth is back again, focusing on a high-profile case breaking in London. A calculating serial killer is certainly in the loose, committing probably the most gruesome of murders as he ‘trophies’ the faces of his victims. With each fresh atrocity, the public and police force are getting more desperate for outcomes.

Hawk pulls together a strong and experienced taskforce, who also soon end up caught up inside a murky world of illegal immigrants and human body organ trading. As he struggles to find any sort of link between your victims, Jack identifies something unique about the newest corpse, and items suddenly get very personal.

In the seedy underbelly of London’s back streets and New Scotland Yard towards the dangerous frontiers of contemporary medicine, that is a gripping crime thriller from a powerhouse Australian author.
