Publisher's summary

After a grisly murder in a shabby New York bookstore, Detective Callum Doyle starts receiving sinister phone calls. Doyle is told more deaths are planned but the caller will give him clues, on the condition that he keeps them to himself. As more vicious deaths follow, the pressure on Doyle to find a link becomes unbearable. Does he continue to gamble with people’s lives? Or should he sacrifice everything to defeat a ruthless and manipulative enemy?

Critic reviews

"Recalls Harlan Coben – though for my money Jackson is the better writer." ( Guardian)

This is the second in the series I've listened to

This is the second in the series I've listened to and I liked it more than the first but I'm leaning towards the "Background Noise" category and I'm not exactly sure why. It could just be me, all the elements are there for a good book, but I just seem to lose connection with the story or the main character, as if I don't really need to be paying attention sometimes. I bought all three books in the series on the basis of reviews and regret it now because I don't think I would have purchased the last one after hearing the first two.
