A death in the family. A man cut down. A cold-blooded killer with no
boundaries.

dead. And there’s no time to comfort his mother when he’s pulled away to upscale Edinburgh to
investigate a sadistic doorstep stabbing. But despite the victim having lived a perfectly ordinary
life, McNeil suspects a gruesome hit.
When the deceased’s widow witnesses a dark
stranger lurking in the neighborhood, the seasoned detective is certain he has the assassin in his
sights. But when his hunt for the culprit swerves too close to home, McNeil fears the killings
have become personal.
Will he track down the murderer before death knocks on his own
door?

The first victim bled out after castration; the second died of thirst. The third’s throat was torn out.
Are these brutal murders the work of one killer, or many? Are the mutilations some kind of horrific message – if so what, and why? As Carlson and his team uncover the victims’ backgrounds they discover a shocking connection – and – a secret truth that will shake their small town to the core.
But, can they capture the perpetrator of these heinous crimes before more young men lose their lives?

I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.
