He told all. Now he’s going to pay…

John Kirkham built his fame on profiling killers – though his days of working real cases are long gone, replaced with book tours, sold-out theatre shows, and standing ovations.

But his past and present collide in the most horrifying way imaginable when he is kidnapped, coming face-to-face with the man known only as The Dark Angel – a legendary serial killer who has eluded police for decades.

Long dismissed as a myth, Mark James is chillingly real, and he has chosen John to tell his final story. Trapped and terrified, Mark wants John to uncover the truth behind the trail of bodies he’s left across the UK…and his identity.

But as the danger escalates, John realises he’s not just a biographer – he’s a player in a deadly final act.

A gripping psychological thriller that dives deep into the mind of a killer – and the profiler who must try to survive him.
