Dark Room

About the book

Detective Inspector Andrew Hicks is no stranger to the world of murder. To him, the motives behind a crime, no matter how gruesome, are usually clear-cut. When a woman is discovered brutally murdered, he immediately points the finger at her possessive ex-husband, assuming it was a crime of passion. However, when a second victim is found with a similar fate, Hicks is forced to reevaluate his initial suspect as the pieces of the puzzle simply do not fit together.

As more bodies pile up in rapid succession, Hicks realizes he is dealing with a whole new breed of killer, one who defies all the logic he has ever known. Panic sets in as the police try to make sense of the seemingly random and chaotic murders. And then the chilling letters start to arrive... With each new murder, Hicks must not only confront a killer driven by an inscrutable madness but also face the demons of his own past. To put an end to the bloodshed, he must delve into the darkest corners of his soul and come to terms with the unsettling truth that some murders originate from much deeper, more sinister places than he could have ever imagined.
