No one escapes death

A serial killer murders men and rips out their hearts. A new case for Detective Helen Grace. The body of a middle-aged man is found in an empty house in Southampton. He's just one victim, but given the nature of the murder, Detective Inspector Helen Grace knows he won't be the only one. But what would a married man with children and a happy life be doing so far from home in the middle of the night? Helen has another important case on her hands. Male bodies are being found around the city, and they all have one thing in common: their hearts have been ripped out. There's no doubt that a new serial killer is behind these murders, and Helen must use everything the police have to prevent him from claiming more victims. The detective can sense the anger behind the killings, but she can't predict how unstable the killer is... or what awaits her at the end of the hunt.
