The Graffiti Murders
(2026)(The eighth book in the DI McKenzie Mystery series)
A novel by Anna-Marie Morgan
A killer is leaving his mark on the city.
When the body of a young woman is found in a deserted alley, Detective Inspector Grant McKenzie expects the familiar grind of a murder investigation: a victim with secrets, witnesses who saw nothing, and a killer already disappearing into the dark.
But then there’s the graffiti'''
Scrawled close to the crime scene is a strange, sinister symbol; one that turns up again after a second body is discovered. And then a third.
The victims seem to have nothing in common. Different ages. Different lives. Different parts of the city. No obvious connection, no safe profile, and no way of knowing who might be next.
As fear spreads and the press gives the killer a name, McKenzie and his team race to decipher the message hidden in plain sight. But every new mark on a wall, a pavement or a tree suggests the murderer is not simply claiming his crimes.
He is leading them somewhere.
And McKenzie may already be too late to stop him.
