A disciple doesn’t want justice. He wants approval.
David Burnham is in prison, his particular method of murder stopped forever. Or so the people of Windover believed.
When a woman’s body is found carefully arranged in a way that echoes Burnham’s chilling signature, Detective Sergeant Nolan Cormac is dragged back into the nightmare he thought he’d ended. But if Burnham is locked away in maximum security, who is the killer?
As fear spreads through the town, Cormac uncovers a disturbing truth: Burnham’s philosophy didn’t die with his conviction. It has been absorbed and embraced by someone sick of being invisible and desperate for recognition. A disciple is walking Burnham’s path and, as the killings escalate, Cormac must confront Burnham one final time — and discover how far a disciple will go to prove himself worthy.
But while one killer spirals toward violence, another danger is watching patiently from the shadows. Because some monsters don’t need to kill today. Some are planning for tomorrow.
The Copycat is the gripping fifth and final instalment of The Burnham Files, and asks one haunting question:
How do you stop a legacy of murder?
Genre: Mystery
