Books like Cold killing by Luke Delaney
When a spate of brutal killings baffles South London's Murder Investigation Unit, Detective Sean Corrigan must dig deeper than the crime scenes. The murders share no obvious pattern or forensic clues, and the victims have nothing in common. Corrigan—whose own haunted past grants him an uncanny insight into darkness—believes the killings stem from a single, calculating killer. Rising violence pushes him to uncover the evidence needed to bring the perpetrator to justice before the next attack hits too close to home.
