Discover the gripping new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of the Logan McRae series

THE CLOCK IS TICKING...

Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastles biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the 'Fortnight Killer'.

Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again.

This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigations front line, hes lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A sarcastic know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence.

Its been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigations running out of time. Angus's shiny new job might just be the death of him
