Killing The Shadows

Product Description

A killer is on the loose, blurring the line between fact & fiction. His prey ? the writers of crime novels who have turned psychological profilers into the heroes of the nineties. But this killer is like no other. His bloodlust shatters all the conventional wisdom surrounding the motives & mechanics of how serial killers operate. & for one woman, the desperate hunt to uncover his identity becomes a matter of life & death. Professor Fiona Cameron is an academic psychologist who uses the computer technology to help police forces track serial offenders. She used to help the Met, but vowed never to work for them again when they went against her advice & badly screwed up an investigation as a consequence. Still smarting from the experience, she's working a case in Toledo when her lover, thriller writer Kit Martin, tells her a fellow crime novelist has been murdered. It's not her case, but Fiona can't help taking an interest. Which is just as well, because before too long the killer strikes again. & again. & Fiona is caught up in a race against time, not only to save a life, but to bring herself redemption, both personal & professional. Rich in atmosphere, ' Killing the Shadows' uses the backdrops of city & country to create an air of threatening menace, culminating in a tense confrontation between hunter & hunted, a confrontation that can only have one outcome.
