Bird of Prey, The Met Murder Investigations

A London detective constable hunts down a bloodthirsty woman—while also harboring dark suspicions about one of her fellow cops . . .

Since committing her first murder a month ago, Cara Mooney craves the high it gave her. She decides it’s time to kill again—and Ryan has no idea he’s meant to be her next victim.

Meanwhile, after being suspended from her job, DC Nasreen Maqsood returns to work and quickly suspects that DCS Adams might be a dirty cop. She vows to investigate, but knows she must tread carefully. Then she’s handed the case of Ryan’s murder.

With the pressure mounting, Nasreen finds her hands full. Soon it becomes apparent that Nasreen is looking for a sadistic predator, but little does she know just how determined this killer is . . .

DC Brockwell

DC Brockwell lives in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, with his wife, Beks and rescue cat, Olivia. He works as a dental technician for Elite Dental Studios in the day, and writes crime/horror/action and adventure/romance stories in the evenings and weekends. After completing his dental technicians’ course at Lambeth College in March 2018, he sat down and started taking his writing more seriously, completing five first drafts of novels in a year. A graduate of criminology and criminal justice studies at the University of Portsmouth, he has always had an interest in crime, specifically abnormal psychology. It was while studying criminology that he penned his first (unpublished) novel, which, he says, will never see the light of day. He self-published his first romance novel, The Southern Belles in July 2019, under his pseudonym, Katie Simpkins, a name both he and Beks chose together. His first crime novel is a contemporary and gritty crime drama.
