The 13th adrenaline-packed Robert Hunter thriller and Top Ten Sunday Times bestseller.‘Gruesome but utterly riveting – and all the more so for being at least partly true’ Daily Mail'Dark, chilling and full of clever little plot kinks designed to send the reader off on a wild goose chase – and succeeding’ Crime Fiction Lover‘Prepare to be terrified’ Crime MonthlyIt should have been a routine autopsy on a straightforward hit-and-run. It should have been an open and shut case. It shouldn’t have led them to a serial killer – or put one of their own in danger.   When the LA Chief Medical Examiner, Dr Carolyn Hove, discovers some inconsistencies in a routine autopsy, she calls in Detective Robert Hunter of the LAPD Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Not only was the victim not killed in a hit-and-run, but Dr Hove also found signs that they’d been severely tortured prior to death. Their investigation leads Hunter and his partner, Carlos Garcia, on the trail of a twisted and clever killer who hides in plain sight. A serial killer no one even knew existed – a killer who has always operated under the radar, expertly disguising every gruesome murder as an accidental death.But how do you investigate a murder when you have no victims? How do you catch a killer who leaves behind no crime scene? How do you stop a ghost who no one can prove even exists?
