Imagine, no consequences…

What would you do?

In the follow-up to The Dissection Murders, Detective Sergeant Grant Maddox and Detective Constable Amber Bennett are faced with a perplexing series of brutal, cold-blooded murders. In this, the most intense investigation of their police service, the detectives are pushed to the limits of mental and physical endurance, as a ruthless killer strikes time and time again.

The callous slaughter of a Police Officer, a former mentor to DC Amber Bennett, is the first in a series of execution style murders which shock and stun the public and investigators equally. In an accelerating killing spree, no common thread appears to tie the victims together. Nationally famous figures and ordinary citizens are targeted, sharing the same awful fate: a 9mm bullet.

As the body count rises, Grant and Amber uncover a tangled web of infidelity and deceit. What links a firebrand Trade Union leader, an estate agent, a Michelin-starred chef, and a retired school teacher? This is the key to the case that DS Grant Maddox must unlock before the killer strikes once more.

The 9mm Murders starts fast and accelerates, delivering shock after shock, climaxing in a dramatic life or death confrontation. For Grant Maddox and Amber Bennett, it is ten days like no other. As the net closes on the killer, they must confront the lethal consequences of their own actions, past and present, as all the while, a pitiless predator moves on to the next name on the list.
