English Summary/英文概要: The second book from the great new voice in thriller writing
Detective Inspector January David is on the hunt for an elusive serial killer but the leads are drying up. The first victim was taken on Halloween and as the months develop more ritualistic murders are discovered. So far, five innocents, each struck down in a public place, have been left dead. Brooke Derry should have been the sixth but she miraculously survives. Meanwhile, January’s personal life is in turmoil as he battles the demons which have haunted him all his life. He’s desperately seeking his missing sister and his private hell is only intensified by the corruption within his own team. When the killer’s picture is leaked to the press, hysteria grips London as the public sees the face of evil and fears they will be next. But no one, including DI David, realises that an unknown vigilante has also seen the front pages and has tracked down the killer and is now holding them captive. January is in pursuit of not just one lost soul, but two . . .

Will Carver is the author of two Crime Thriller novels featuring Detective Inspector January David - GIRL 4 and THE TWO. The third instalment will be published in 2013. (Century/Arrow.)
A string of jobs followed graduation including a cinema usher, coffee shop barista, video store clerk, bartender, clothes washer and driver for a documentary crew, eventually leading, somehow, into the lowest position possible within an IT company. All the time trying to write a play or novel.
Five years later, and several rungs up the IT ladder, he was made redundant and took this as the opportunity to write. All day. Every day.
When his first novel - a black comedy - was not taken up, one publisher suggested his writing style would suit a thriller. Six month later, Girl 4 was finished. Four months after that he was signed to Random House for three books. He is currently writing the fourth. (And still working on that play.)
His early years were spent in Germany but he returned to the UK aged eleven where his sporting career began to flourish. He turned down a professional rugby contract to study a Theatre and Television degree at King Alfred’s, Winchester, where he also set up his own successful Theatre Company. He hoped to become a playwright and theatre director
