The Essence of Evil

To gain insight on a string of murders, a Birmingham DI consults with her twin who almost killed her in this crime thriller series debut. When DI Dani Stephens returns to work after an attack that almost ended her life, she’s quickly plunged into a horrific new case, as dead bodies are discovered on the streets of Birmingham. But with no link between the victims, Dani must get inside the killer’s mind—so she turns to the murderer she knows best. Her own twin brother . . . But what makes a psychopath? Can understanding her twin help her find a murderer who leaves no trace? As the circle closes on Dani, the clock is ticking, and she needs a breakthrough—before she becomes the latest victim. A great choice for fans of Peter James and Mark Billingham.
