Laughing Boy

DI Charlie Priest and his team have been investigating the random stabbing of a young woman for the past month.  Having gotten nowhere with it, it is time to set the case aside.  However, it wasn't the end, as another girl is killed that same night. The team looks into links with other murders.  A psychologist suggests to Priest that the violence is escalating.

Priest is called down to Scotland Yard to discuss the possibility that there is a serial killer at large.  There he is informed that there are more murders, and the killer has taunted the Yard. Priest is invited to take over the investigation.  It isn't long after this that the killer strikes again.

One of Priest's team, Pete Goodfellow, discovers that the bodies were not left in a random pattern, but  when place on a grid map, the co-ordinates match the lyrics of a song.  The killer is taunting the police.

Author Stuart Pawson provides the reader with an exciting conclusion to this murder mystery.  It is a real page turner, hard to put down.
