Perfect Remains

DI Luc Callanach has just started with Police Scotland’s Major Investigations Team in Edinburgh.  He is trying to settle into his new office when a call comes in about a body found outside the city.  A scrap of cloth nearby points to it being a woman who has been missing for two weeks.

Callanach is sure that the victim wasn’t killed where she was found.  A bat is found nearby as is a tooth.  Both provide DNA evidence of the missing victim.

Callanach’s team has no luck and information is drying up.  A few weeks later another woman goes missing.  This one is a minister at a church.  Her phone is found near her home, and there is evidence of chloroform on it.    Witnesses have seen the kidnapper without realising it, but their input helps Callanach begin to create a picture of him.

As time goes by, similarities between the two cases begin to emerge.  But will it be enough?

Callanach has begun to establish a friendship with DI Ava Turner, and becomes concerned when a death threat to her is left outside her office.  She has been busy with her own case; babies are being left abandoned in the city.  DCI Begbie orders a full-time guard for Turner.

Turner is suspended over comments she made about the baby case.  That same evening her friend, Natasha Forge, is threatened.  Could she potentially be the next victim? 

Although a profiler has been brought in, Callanach has no faith in him.  Especially when a man is arrested and charged based on the profiler’s say so.

The whole force is shocked when the next woman abducted is Turner!  Can Callanach’s team save her before she is killed?

Wow!  Author Helen Fields’ thriller is just that!  An exciting, absolute thriller that will keep the reader completely engaged.  I can hardly wait to get my hands on the sequels.
