It is such an excellent crime/police thriller. The first in the Washington Poe series, and I will be reading more. A fast ride with loveable characters. Poe is suspended from his DCI role, and he is forced out of retirement when a Serial Killer carves his name in his latest victim, and he comes back demoted to a DI. Tilly Bradshaw, a computer geek analyst, supports him and is a fabulous neurodiversive loveable character. His previous DI, Stephanie Flynn, is now his superior. Twisty, gritty, dark, clever, and an utterly brilliant page Turner of a read. Superb
