Three women targeted. Two dead. One chance to stop the killer.
Detective Hunter Wilson has just toasted his engagement to pathologist Dr Meera Sharma at Edinburgh's grandest hotel when the lift doors slide open.
Inside lies a young woman drenched in blood. Her eyes are gone.
She’s still alive.
Eileen Maguire is the third victim of a killer with a horrifying signature. The first was found in Ravelston Wood. The second on Cramond Beach.
Eileen is the only survivor — and Hunter’s only witness.
All she can give him is a name.
Frederick.
He found her online. He was charming. Patient. He let her choose somewhere public for their first date.
Now Hunter is in a race against time to uncover Frederick’s real identity.
Because somewhere in Edinburgh, another woman with unusual eyes is already in the killer’s sights . . .
For fans of Ian Rankin, Caro Ramsay, Val McDermid, J.D. Kirk and Stuart MacBride.
Please note this book was previously published as Hunter’s Rules.
MEET THE DETECTIVE
Hunter Wilson is ‘a son of the manse’ as they say in Scotland. He has inherited his church minister father’s strong Scottish work ethic, and his deep sense of right and wrong. He is divorced from the mother of his two children, and lives in a two-bedroomed flat in Leith, a modest Edinburgh suburb. He rarely sees his daughter, Alison, who lives with her husband and two children in the Shetland Islands. His son, Cameron, is a troubled young man who has given Hunter cause for concern over the years. Hunter is secretly in love with Dr Meera Sharma, the local pathologist. Their heavy work schedules means their relationship is fraught with difficulties.
THE SETTING
Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Tourists flock to admire its historic castle, elegant Georgian terraces, smoky pubs and ancient closes. But beneath the picture-postcard beauty lies a darker side, where murder can hide in plain sight.
