Description by Author:
Discover
a crime thriller full of shocking twists by one of the most exciting new
authors you’ll read this year.
A
VICTIM. A MUTILATED BODY. A SINGLE WORD.
A
young woman is found dead on the streets of London. Her throat slashed, her
body mutilated, and one word carved into her flesh: “DON’T.”
Detective
Superintendent Ray Paterson is assigned to the case. Young, handsome, and from
a wealthy background, he’s tipped for the top. He joins a team based out of
Bermondsey, South London. It’s meant to be a stepping stone to his next
promotion, but this case will threaten to bring down his career and everything
he thought he knew about policing.
Paterson
is put in charge of the dead girl's investigation and quickly discovers he must
rely on his friend and mentor, Detective Sergeant Dave Jordan to guide him
through.
THEN
ANOTHER BODY IS DISCOVERED. ANOTHER WORD CUT INTO THE VICTIM’S CHEST.
The
police realise they may have a depraved serial killer on their hands. The
murderer is trying to send them a message carved in his victims’ bodies. But
who’s the message for?
How
many more must die? Detective Paterson may be the only man who can stop this
vile killer ... if he can survive long enough.
This
is the first in a series of action-packed, edge-of-your-seat crime thrillers,
with an ending that will have your heart in your mouth.
Perfect
for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Damien Boyd, Rachel Abbott, Patricia Gibney or
Martina Cole.
PLEASE
NOTE THIS IS A HEAVILY REVISED EDITION OF A BOOK FIRST PUBLISHED AS “THE SKY IS
CRYING.”
What
readers are saying about THEIR LAST WORDS
“There
is also a totally unexpected twist that leaves you gasping with shock.” Maggie

enjoyed reading this book.” Nerys

fast-paced, at times almost heart-stopping mystery. I couldn’t put it down.”

TWO
DETECTIVES WHO HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT EACH OTHER MUST WORK TOGETHER.
Detective
Superintendent Ray Paterson is a young and (thanks to family money) wealthy
womaniser, separated from his model wife and tipped to be the youngest ever
commissioner of police. He knows he’s weak when it comes to practical policing
and struggles to find a place among his peers, desperate to be a good policeman
and not just a 'climber'.
Detective
Sergeant Johnny Clocks is a foul-mouthed, working-class officer. He grew up
surrounded by rogues and villains to become a first-class thief taker with the
Met police. However, his childish attitude has short-circuited his career and
he spends his days antagonising as many people as he can.
Detective
Sergeant Dave Jordan is an old-school copper who trusts his instincts but
relies on evidence. He is typical in that his marriage has broken down and he's
been unable to form a relationship since.
