The Weighing of the Heart
(2022)(The second book in the Detective Marshall Thriller series)
A novel by Karen Hastie
The discovery of a mutilated body in the British Museum launches DI Marshall’s murder investigation into what appears to be the work of a twisted serial killer.
With victims butchered as if they’d undergone an ancient Egyptian funeral rite, Marshall struggles to find anything to link them beyond their ritual dismemberment.
Transferred from her usual unit to the Met’s Murder Squad, Marshall already feels out of her depth, but when she discovers a previously unknown sister in her dad’s old letters, her personal life turns upside-down too.
The burden of the family secret weighs heavy, and while Marshall questions everything she knew about her dead father, her investigation into the murders escalates as she unearths a dark underworld of antiquities trafficking and terrorism.
With time running out, can Marshall piece together the fragments of the victim’s past before another sacrifice is taken?
The Weighing of the Heart is the second book in the gripping thriller series by Karen Hastie. Perfect for fans of Jeffery Deaver, Thomas Harris, Karin Slaughter and Kathy Reichs.
