       DCI Michael Lambert thought he’d closed his last case…

      Yet when he’s passed a file detailing a particularly gruesome murder, Michael knows that this is no ordinary killer at work.

      The removal of the victim’s eyes and the Latin inscription carved into the chest is the chilling calling-card of the ‘Souljacker’: a cold-blooded murderer who struck close to Michael once before, years ago.

      Now the long-buried case is being reopened, and Michael is determined to use his inside knowledge to finally bring the killer to justice. But as the body count rises, Michael realises that his own links to the victims could mean that he is next on the killer’s list…
