Mystery Police Procedural
Detectives Ruth Lake and Greg Carver, introduced in the
electrifying Splinter in the Blood, must stop a serial
killer whose victims are the centerpiece of his macabre
works of art. While Britain is obsessed with the newest hit true-crime
television show, Fact, or Fable? detectives Ruth Lake and
Greg Carver are tormented by a fiendish flesh-and-blood
killer on the loose. Lured to a “crime scene” by a mysterious digital
invitation, Ruth Lake is horrified by what she finds: a
bizarre and gruesome tableau surrounded by a crowd of
gawkers. The deadly work is the latest “art installation”
designed by a diabolical criminal dubbed the Ferryman. Not
only is this criminal cold-blooded; he’s a narcissistic
exhibitionist desperate for an audience. He’s also clever
at promoting his deadly handiwork. Exploiting England’s
current true-crime craze, he uses social media to titillate
and terrorize the public. Ruth is joined in the investigation by her partner Greg
Carver, who is slowly regaining his strength after a run-in
with another sadistic criminal. But Greg can’t seem to
shake the bewildering effects of the head wound that nearly
ended him. Are the strange auras blurring his vision an
annoying side effect of his injury, or could they be
something more . . . a tool to help him see a person’s true
nature? In this utterly engrossing and thrilling tale of suspense,
a pair of seasoned detectives face off against a wickedly
smart and inventive psychopath in a tense, bloody game that
leads to a shocking end.
