Scare someone enough, they’ll do anything. Detective Inspector Tom Thorne is confronted with a string of murders that happen in pairs, and appear to be the work of two serial killers working together.
What gives Thorne and his team pause is copious tears found at one of the scenes – the killer was crying as he did his deed. Particularly haunting is the first murder, when a young mother was butchered in front of her three-year-old, who survived.
To stop them both, Thorne must catch a man whose need to manipulate is as great as his need to kill. The gripping second instalment in the Tom Thorne series.
