Publisher's Synopsis
Rea Carlisle inherits a house from an uncle she never knew. When she forces open a locked room, she finds a leather-bound book. Tucked in its pages are fingernails, locks of hair, and a list of victims. Horrified, Rea wants to go straight to the police, but her father intervenes - he's worked too hard to have his brother's twisted legacy ruin his promising political career. So Rea turns to the only person she can think of: disgraced police inspector Jack Lennon. But Lennon has his own troubles, and they only get worse when a brutal murder places him in the crosshairs of DCI Serena Flanagan. Hounded by a police force that doesn't trust him, it's up to Lennon to unravel the secrets of the dead man's journal, and a conspiracy that's stayed buried for decades.
