EVIL NEVER RETIRES.

READERS CAN’T PUT THIS DOWN. THE ENDING IS ABSOLUTELY JAW-DROPPING.

1975

It’s the worst thing Detective Bill Roach has ever seen. The young woman’s body is found beside a busy road. She’s been disembowelled — while she was still alive. Placed on her chest is a cassette player. Inside is a sixty-minute tape, playing just one song over and over again: ‘Mack the Knife’.

Bill will spend the next fifty years trying to catch the vicious serial killer who becomes known as Jack the Knife.

Now

Crown Woods Retirement Home. Eighty-year-old Bill Roach sits at the bedside of elderly Gillian Lake, comforting her as she slips away.

But the post-mortem shows Gillian didn’t die of old age. She was murdered.

Now Bill realises there’s a killer in the retirement home. He never caught Jack the Knife . . . but he’ll catch this killer.

And what Bill discovers will blow your mind with one of the most astonishing twists you’ll read this year.

Perfect for fans of Lynda la Plante, Rachel McLean, Angela Marsons, Patricia Gibney.
