Murder detectives don’t often call on the services of psychics.
Or they’re not supposed to.
When the so-called Edmonton Strangler starts to run up a scorecard of victims across North London, leading to riots in the streets and interference from politicians, even seasoned murder investigator, DS Mark ‘Heck’ Heckenburg is reaching the stage where he’ll consider almost anything.
It’s a ghastly scene. Strangulations so brutal they defy belief. Broken naked bodies left in backstreet dustbins. An assailant who comes and goes like a ghost.
Heck has never failed to crack a case, and neither has his ‘straight bat’ boss, DSU Gemma Piper. But when they are approached by a disturbed young woman who claims that spirits have revealed the killer’s identity to her, they are reluctant to play that game.
At least officially.
With nothing to lose, Heck enquires covertly into the so-called ‘intel’ … and is stunned by the rabbit hole of madness it leads him down into.
Are the spirits real? And if so, exactly whose side are they on?
A BRAND NEW ‘HECK’ NOVELLA FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
