A deadly game of cat and mouse. A wish list for murder. One person stands in the way.
When the body of a young woman sparks a manhunt on the streets of Bristol, striking similarities to another murder suggest there is only one detective for the job—old-school maverick DI Robbie Chilcott.
Bitter from a promotional snub and professionally embarrassed by his last failed murder case, DI Chilcott has a chance to restore pride and get even with a brutal serial killer. But after the investigation deepens and the body count rises, realisation dawns that Chilcott is hunting a systematic and lethal adversary.
As a pattern to the killer's chilling purpose takes shape, Chilcott establishes a shocking truth—the victims aren't random—they have been chosen for who they are.
Can Chilcott predict the assassin's next move and prevent further murders, or have the crosshairs already turned on him?
DEAD RINGER is the gritty first novel in this edge-of-your-seat British crime thriller series full of heart-pounding action and gripping suspense. Perfect for fans of Neil Lancaster, JD Kirk, David J. Gatward, J M Dalgliesh, Alex Smith and Simon McCleave.
