A DS Hunter Kerr Novel
‘A new terror is sweeping Barnwell and Hunter faces a killer whose evil surpasses all others.’
The discovery of a skeleton buried beneath the altar of an old chapel should not have raised an eyebrow, but this one was different. This one had been savagely murdered, and all the evidence points to the blood-thirsty killer the press have dubbed ‘The Beast of Barnwell’; a killer who has already served time for the brutal murder of a young girl and is now free.
Is this his handiwork?
In the midst of the enquiry, a 22 year old woman is abducted on her way home from work. Is there a link?
To add to Hunter’s workload his former boss, Michael Robshaw, is deliberately mown down and left for dead.
Why?
In his search for the truth Hunter returns to his undercover roots - with deadly consequences.
