Summary

A policeman on his first murder case

A tattoo artist with a deadly secret

And a twisted serial killer sharpening his blades to kill again....

When Brighton tattoo artist Marni Mullins discovers a flayed body, newly-promoted DI Francis Sullivan needs her help. There's a serial killer at large, slicing tattoos from his victims' bodies while they're still alive. Marni knows the tattooing world like the back of her hand, but has her own reasons to distrust the police. So when she identifies the killer's next target, will she tell Sullivan or go after the Tattoo Thief alone?

A great story

This was a lovely grisly and gory story of a demented serial killer. Not for the lily-livered at all! Marni and Francis, what a duo, they're really polar opposites, which is why the work so well as a partnership. I really enjoyed the thought that tattoo artists have their own community where they support each other. I think Sullivan showed a great deal of restraint, not punching his superior officer on the nose because I sure wanted to. I see there is a second book starring Marni and Francis and am really looking forward to listening to that. I enjoyed the narration, even though Ms Gubbins sounded very young. Definitely well worth a listen and I hope this becomes a long standing series.
