Summary

A vicious serial killer is holding the country to ransom, publicly - and gruesomely - murdering his victims. When a man is burnt alive on a bonfire, it seems like a tragic Guy Fawkes Night accident. But with the discovery of a young couple on Valentine’s Day - each with an arrow through the heart - something more sinister becomes clear. A "calendar killer" is on the loose.

Detective Mark "Heck" Heckenburg is up against it. With a rising body count and the public’s eyes on him, Heck must find the killer before he executes more victims. Because this killer has a plan. And nothing will stop him completing it.

A heart-stopping and grisly thriller that will enthral fans of Stuart MacBride and Katia Lief.

another great tale from Paul Finch

Paul Thornley takes you on a fast and compelling pace, only he can put so much into a story. I have started to follow both writter and narator as they make a great team.

A good story with many twists and turns.

Loved the story. There were many twists and turns throughout but it keeps the reader engaged.
Heck's character is developing further as more of his history with Jemma is revealed.

Action Man is Northern

Heck is great, a proper thinker who sees things the others don't.
However, the alone action he gets himself into and the way he comes out of things without serious injury is a bit much sometimes.
I obviously don't want anything to happen to him, but everyone else falling and him still standing is a bit head shaking at times.
I do really like the stories though and will carry on listening.
The narration only got 4 stars from me because its the same voices as the Spider Shepherd series (obviously the same narrator), but having listened to the whole series of those books the different accents and pitches Paul uses are the Stephen Leather characters for me.
