Two detectives go up against a sadistic killer with a penchant for murder mysteries in this thriller by the bestselling author of M for Murder.
When a teenager is found stabbed to death, detectives Rebecca Angell and Jake Sullivan are called to the scene. The clues soon lead them to a crime novel that provided the killer with gruesome inspiration.
The author, Amy Gallaty, has a new book out, prompting the detectives to question how far she is prepared to go in the name of promotion. But when Gallaty attracts the attentions of a stalker and then a second murder mirrors another of her plots, Angell and Sullivan realize they are up against a cruel and clever psychopath—one who may have a more personal agenda.
Working with the FBI, Angell and Sullivan find themselves in a race against the clock to unlock the secrets in Gallsty’s past before the killer can strike again . . .

Keri Beevis wrote her first novel at age twenty, but it was a further twenty years before she was published after winning a contract in the Rethink Press New Novels Competition 2012. Born in the village of Old Catton, less than a mile from where Anna Sewell was living when she wrote Black Beauty, Keri had a passion for reading and writing from a young age, though her tastes veered more to the macabre. Today she still lives in Norwich, along with her two naughty kitties, Ellie and Lola, and a plentiful supply of red wine (her writing fuel), where she writes a comedic lifestyle column for a local magazine. She loves Hitchcock movies, exploring creepy places, and gets extremely competitive in local pub quizzes. She is also a self-confessed klutz. Keri joined the Bloodhound team in 2019 and her first release with them, the psychological thriller, Dying To Tell, which is set in her beautiful home county of Norfolk, has been her biggest success to date, with over 1200 four and five star ratings on Goodreads. She is now looking forward to the relaunch of her three earlier novels in 2020.
