A TAPPING AT MY DOOR

 

 

A deadly game of cat and mouse - and the police aren't the ones doing the hunting. A gripping new serial killer thriller from the bestselling author of Cry Baby.

 

When police are called to a murder scene in the Liverpool suburbs, even the most jaded officers are disturbed by what they find.

 

DS Nathan Cody, still bearing the scars of an undercover mission that went horrifyingly wrong, is put on the case. But the police have no leads, except the body of the bird - and the victim's missing eyes.

 

And then the killer strikes again, and Cody realises the threat isn't to the people of Liverpool after all - it's to the police.
