Michelle Kidd

A woman's body is discovered in Hyde Park. Wearing only one shoe. Close by, Detective Jack MacIntosh finds a black stiletto, diamante buckle glinting in the morning sun. But it doesn't belong to the victim. Two days later, another young woman is found strangled to death in nearby Green Park. Wearing just one shoe - the matching stiletto. Hidden in the long grass beside the body, the police uncover a low-heeled court shoe. Detective Jack and his team are in a race against time to find the owner of the court shoe before it's too late. At the same time, Jack is fighting his own demons. Demons rising up from the past and threatening to cloud his judgement when he needs it most. Jack is hunting a brutal killer, who delights in playing cat-and-mouse games. Who will win this deadly battle of wits?

Seven Days to Die

Eighty-one-year-old Eddie Wakefield is found brutally murdered at the nursing home where he lives. Crudely carved into his flesh - while he was still alive - is the number 15. Detective Jack MacIntosh and his team are determined to track down the ruthless killer of this frail elderly man. But the investigation is leading nowhere. Then the second body is discovered. The victim was stabbed to death in their own home. Again, the number 15 is etched into the dead man's flesh. A single clue leads to St Bartholomew's School for Boys, a grim and forbidding institution on England's south coast - and a series of shocking secrets stretching back more than 40 years. What is the significance of the number 15. . . and is Jack prepared for the horrifying truth?

Fifteen Reasons to Kill

Billie-Rose's bloodstained body is found in the kitchen of her ground-floor flat. She's been strangled to death, there's a deep laceration to her upper thigh, and a wooden chess-piece grasped tightly in her hand. Daubed on the wall in Billie-Rose's own blood is a strange symbol: a bishop's mitre. All Detective Jack MacIntosh can think is: He's back. Four years earlier, four young women were also strangled to death in their own homes, the same deep wound to the thigh, the same weird symbol scrawled on the wall. The work of the killer they call the Bishop. Is he back to kill again? Jack and his team are in a race against time to pull the pieces together and uncover the truth before more young women die.

Sixteen Carved Pieces

The call comes in the early hours. Human remains have been discovered in a suitcase, dumped on the muddy banks of the River Thames. Detective Jack MacIntosh races to the scene. The suitcase contains a human torso, two arms and two legs. It's the body of a young girl. But where is her head? Then a skull is found embedded in the silt of the riverbed. But it doesn't belong to the body in the case. As the river offers up more of its gruesome secrets, Jack uncovers a tangled web of shocking secrets stretching back 20 years.
