Category: the bone edge
If fire crews are called to a blaze at the home of a Kilwinnoch GP, they make a grisly discovery: the charred remains of the doctor and his entire family. But is this a tragic accident or an horrific, calculated murder? When DCI Duncan Bone's worst fears are confirmed, a cryptic message is found at the scene hinting at a grudge against the medical profession. Bone realizes that a psychopathic serial killer may be at large in his home town.
The horror of the fire threatens to re-ignite dark memories of Bone's own near-fatal assault. As an increasingly terrified community prays for the nightmare to end, Bone knows that he must do battle not just with a homicidal maniac, but with the terrors inside his own mind.
