Summary
Why train killers if you don’t want killers?
●
Detective Lucy Chen, never one to back down from a challenge, takes on a serial murder case that’s been baffling her colleagues. While she’d never admit it, she starts to find the man she’s chasing rather… amusing. He leaves her notes. He sends her letters. It’s personal.
When Tim Bradford, a local Army veteran and occasional CI for Angela Lopez, turns up at Lucy’s door asking for her help when he’s implicated in a crime he swears he didn’t commit, she can’t figure out why he’d turn to her specifically. But she does recognize his handwriting. -
