Dying Breath: Unputdownable serial killer fiction (Detective Lucy Harwin)

Take a breath. Pray it's not your last. Just a few months after a terrifying case that nearly took her life, Detective Lucy Harwin is back with her squad in the coastal town of Brooklyn Bay - and this time, she's faced with a case more horrifying than anything she's encountered. Along with her partner, Detective Mattie Jackson, Lucy is investigating what appears to be a vicious but isolated murder; a woman found bludgeoned to death on a lonely patch of wasteland. But when a second victim is discovered strangled in an alleyway, then a young family shot in their own home, Lucy and the team must face the unthinkable reality - a killer is walking the streets of their town. While Lucy and the team try to find the link between these seemingly unconnected murders, they uncover a disturbing truth - these murders are replicating those carried out by infamous serial killers. Lucy must get to the killer before he strikes again. But he's got his sights on her, and is getting ever closer... Can she save herself, before she becomes the final piece in his twisted game? A dark, gripping and sinister crime novel that will hook fans of Patricia Gibney, Joy Ellis and Angela Marsons from the very first page.
