", the debut cracker ... Many readers expect a chill, followed by a crushing climax"When

The Crucifix killer stalks Glasgow, leaving the mutilated bodies of the victims in the pose of Christ. Chief Inspector Alan McAlpine is called to lead the hunt with the support of local officers Inspector Anderson and Sergeant Costello.

But the past holds terrible memories for McAlpine. The last time he worked on this site was about twenty years ago, when he was assigned to guard a woman- faceless after a sadistic acid attack- in a Glasgow hospital. In this hospital room, an obsession was born that never completely left McAlpine, and now it seems to be surfacing again. As the pursuit of stopping the horrific murders intensifies, Anderson and Costello find a frightening cause for concern in the uncomfortable proximity of home.
