DI January David is introduced in this fiendishly crafted thriller with a masterful killer at large

Detective Inspector January David has always put his professional before his private life, but the two worlds are about to clash horrifically as he visits his latest crime scene. He is confronted by a lifeless figure suspended 10 feet above a theater stage, blood pouring from her face into a coffin below. This gruesome execution is the work of an elusive serial killer. Three women from three different London suburbs have each been murdered with elaborate and chilling precision, and as January stares at the most beautiful corpse he's ever seen, he detects the killer's hallmark. But Girl 4 is different: she is alive—barely. And January recognizes her.
