More about the book

Sometimes a terrible price must be paid to create true beauty. In London, a serial killer stalks the city, murdering women and displaying their grotesquely mutilated bodies in public places. The third victim has been found, and all the murders share common traits that present a puzzle for the police: a mysterious symbol is left at each crime scene. Each victim was in the killer's grasp for exactly 36 days, and all had a bird's beak stuffed in their throats. Detective Lucy Maguire believes the women have fallen prey to an occult religious ritual. What happened to the women during those 36 days, and who will be the next victim? As another woman goes missing, a race against time begins, with only 36 days left for the police to track down the killer.
