Stone cold innocent. Stone cold dead.

Someone, somewhere is confessing to being a serial killer. But why and to whom?

A young man is found shot dead. An unusual enough occurrence in the bustling town of Milton Keynes. But it’s the nature of the crime that really stands out:

A note is literally pinned through his chest. A note that proclaims him to be a rapist.

When DCI Rose McPhail begins her investigation into this strange murder, she finds that the victim has never been arrested for or convicted of any crime.

But before she can begin to piece the puzzle together another victim is discovered.

With scant evidence to work with a growing sense of despair tells her that there will almost certainly be more murders.

Now facing a desperate race against time, a nagging thought won’t leave her alone. A thought that fills her with horror:

The killer could be closer to home than she dare believe.

Fans of Colin A Millar will know he writes faced paced and intriguing crime thrillers where nothing is ever quite what it seems. This, the first book in the new Rose McPhail series, delivers on all fronts.
