About this listen
To the public, he’s a hero: a brutal killer who targets sex offenders. To most of London’s police force, he’s the suspect in a gruesome, time-consuming case to be avoided. But to Detective Constable Maeve Kerrigan, he’s a murderer - no matter the sins of his victims - and catching him is her job.
Assigned to the case with the division’s unreadable new DI, Josh Derwent, young and inexperienced Maeve is determined to prove she has what it takes to make it as a female in the tough world of the London police. But for a killer who strikes with such spectacle, this one is proving remarkably elusive. And when Maeve learns his motive might be about exacting revenge, his acts of incredible violence move from abstract justice to the intensely personal, and become all the more terrifying. Unsure whom she can trust even within her own department, and knowing that her life is at stake, Maeve will have to decide how far she’s willing to go to ensure justice is served.
Jane Casey’s taut, brilliantly executed thriller will have listeners on the edge of their seats from the opening chapter to the stunning conclusion.

Exxcellent British police procedural
- By Wayne on 12-24-16
By: Joy Ellis
This particular story was something of a surprise for me because the direction and focus changed about mid-way through from one type of crime to another. And yet, did it really? As is true with most modern police procedural novels today there is quite a bit of description of gruesome crimes which are being investigated. The author does focus on that aspect of murder scenes so you would do well to be aware of that before you start reading here. There is a revenge aspect attached to the killing of known pedophiles and the killings are brutal. I found the information was presented with as much detail as was needed to convey the nature of the crime, but still some of it made me a little uneasy. I knew that was the style of descriptive writing this author uses because of reading the first novel so I opened this book and began reading knowing what to expect.
The inner-office tensions and relationships within the London Metropolitan Police Murder Squad are very well incorporated into the novel and I was pleased to have characters from the previous book appear again. New characters were also added to provide new foils for Maeve to react to or against. At two places the point of view changes from Maeve to another character and I'm still not quite sure if I liked that treatment of the story. I can certainly see why the information contained in those two chapters was entirely relevant coming from someone else, but I had to constantly remind myself that this was not Maeve talking now. Perhaps the different style and size of font will help readers when they get to this portion of the novel. I definitely recommend this novel. If you are interested in very realistic police procedural novels, this will certainly give you what you are looking for.
