DI Henley faces her darkest challenge yet…
When a string of grisly murders begins painting the city in terror, DI Henley soon realise a vigilante killer is scalping their victims before leaving them for dead. Henley is thrust into a web of secrets, unravelling connections between the victims while battling demons from her own past. As the killer raises the stakes, the line between predator and prey begins to blur. With time slipping away and her own life in jeopardy, Henley must outwit a psychopath who views murder as an art form. Can she hunt them down before the final stroke of the scalpel closes the case forever?
The Serial Crimes Unit tackles a series of home invasions featuring a perpetrator who scalps his victims.
The grisly investigation unfolds in The Shadow Carver by Nadine Matheson. DI Anjelica Henley returns for a high-octane thriller.
This time around, ghosts from Henley’s past emerge just as the body count rises. The author weaves in plenty of suspense as the SCU tries to piece together the clues.
In addition to tracking the serial killer, Henley continues to wrestle with her personal life and the roles her boss and her ex play. She is supported by a cast of well-developed characters, the majority of whom appeared in an earlier installment.
