The killer claims they want to be stopped...

In a busy shopping centre, a little girl clutches a teddy bear, crying for her mother, Katrina. Hours later, Katrina's body is discovered in an abandoned building. But why would someone kill a young woman out shopping with her child?

Days later, a second woman is found in a local park, her six-year-old son missing. And a handwritten letter from the killer lands on Detective Kim Stone's desk, pleading for help.

Kim knows time is running out to bring the little boy home alive, but first she must get inside the mind of a murderer. Why are they sending her messages? What do they want?

Because if Kim can't work out what they're trying to say, another innocent soul will die...

The multi-million-copy bestselling Detective Kim Stone series is every bit as addictive, original and exciting as readers say. You'll be hooked from the very first page.
