Story
Grief-stricken following the death of his baby son, surgeon Dan Lewis is struggling to make sense of it all as his marriage collapses. His work is his lifeline. But when he fixates on a child patient he thinks has a potentially lethal disease, no one believes the diagnosis. They all think he’s losing his mind. When one of Dan’s critics is senselessly murdered and the evidence points to the damaged doctor as the prime suspect, his bad situation becomes desperate. But there’s a dark secret linking the ill child and the murder victim - one that no one other than Dan can see.

Everyone has a calling. His is murder. When a woman staggers, naked, from a river, she has no idea that she’s been saved from a killer. Laura Fell is horrified when she discovers her friend Gina’s suicide. Everton Bowe, a cop whose career is as dead as his marriage, is handed the case. Was it really suicide? Meanwhile, DC Helen Lake insists there are similarities between the traumatised river woman and the cold case of three missing women: the victims, she fears, of a serial killer. Is there a serial killer on the loose? If so, what is his motive?

Summary
How do you catch a killer who thinks murder is art?
Michael Fisher sees himself as an artist rather than a killer and poses his victims to resemble famous paintings.
Detective Nick Kelly is called to attend the latest crime scene and finds himself at the centre of a media storm. But while the rest of the police department feels under pressure, Nick relishes the attention.
Karen Kelly, Nick’s soon to be ex-wife, watches in horror as this brutal game of cat and mouse plays out. But Karen has secrets of her own.
And when another body is found, Nick is disturbed to discover he knows the victim, and things start to get a little too close to home.
