IN THIS FOUR-BOOK BOX SET:

BOOK 1: SEVEN DAYS TO DIE
A young woman is discovered strangled in Hyde Park. Wearing only one shoe. Close to the body, Detective Jack MacIntosh finds a black stiletto, diamante buckle glinting in the early morning sun. But it doesn’t belong to the victim. Two days later, another young woman is found strangled to death in nearby Green Park. Wearing just one shoe — the matching stiletto. Hidden in the long grass beside the body, the police uncover a low-heeled court shoe. Detective Jack and his team are in a race against time to find the owner of the court shoe before it’s too late.

BOOK 2: FIFTEEN REASONS TO KILL
Eighty-one-year-old Eddie Wakefield is found brutally murdered at the nursing home where he lives. Crudely carved into his flesh — while he was still alive — is the number fifteen. Then the second body is discovered. Stabbed to death in their own home. Again, the number fifteen is etched into the dead man’s flesh. What is the significance of the number fifteen . . . and are Detective Jack and his team prepared for the horrifying truth?

BOOK 3: SIXTEEN CARVED PIECES
Billie-Rose’s bloodstained body is found in her ground-floor flat. She’s been strangled to death. Daubed on the wall in Billie-Rose’s own blood is a strange symbol: a bishop’s mitre. All Detective Jack MacIntosh can think is: He’s back. Four years earlier, four young women were also strangled to death in their own homes, the same weird symbol scrawled on the wall. The work of the killer they call the Bishop. Is he back to kill again?

Book 4: TWENTY YEARS BURIED
The call comes in the early hours. Human remains have been discovered in a suitcase, dumped on the banks of the River Thames. Detective Jack races to the scene. The suitcase contains a human torso, two arms and two legs. It’s the body of a young girl. But where is her head? Then a skull is found embedded in the silt of the riverbed. But it doesn’t belong to the body in the case. As the river offers up its gruesome secrets, Jack uncovers a tangled web of shocking secrets stretching back twenty years.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Detective Inspector Jack MacIntosh is a dedicated police officer, the one person you would want to fight your corner. But he has been known to cross the line to get the job done. As a four-year-old boy he discovered his mother’s body swinging from a light fitting. Jack and his younger brother were taken into care — Jack did OK, his brother not so much. A bit of a loner, Jack has never married — although plenty of women would like to give it a shot. He lives in a charming mews cottage in central London. No one is quite sure how he can afford it on a detective’s salary.

James’s incisive powers of deduction won him a place the very top of his profession. Will they also be his undoing?

THE SETTING
Victorian London may be a city full of thrilling possibilities, with the promise of progress hanging in the air like smog. But its twisty streets are also fraught with danger: from the dingy Docklands to the spires of Westminster and the alleys of Soho.
