DI Mark Tartaglia investigates the murder of a bestselling novelist in
the third novel in Elena Forbes' bestselling mystery series.
Bestselling novelist Joe Logan walks out into a hot summer's evening in
central London. The next day his body is found dumped in a disused
Victorian crypt at the Brompton Cemetery. He has been tied up, shot, and
castrated. The killing has the hallmarks of a professional hit. But what
had Logan done to deserve such a brutal end?
Detective Mark Tartaglia is convinced that Logan's personal life holds
the key, but unravelling the victim's recent past proves difficult. Then
the body of a second man is found in an old boathouse on the Thames --
killed in an identical fashion to Logan. A vicious and methodical killer
is at work, but what does he want and how does he lure his victims to
their death? If Tartaglia can find the link between the two dead men
maybe he can find the killer before he strikes again.
