The Raven's Mark

Meet Beth Fellows, a Preston detective haunted by her mum’s murder when she was only four. She’s a driven woman with a heart of gold.

Now Beth faces the hardest case of her career: Rose Danes’s throat is cut, her body discarded on a council estate. Seared into the teenage girl’s skin is the image of a raven.
Six years ago, another girl was attacked. The victim, fourteen-year-old Celine Wilson, barely survived and was left brain-damaged in a coma.
THIS GIRL ALSO HAD A RAVEN BURNED ON HER BODY.
Why wait six years to strike again?
Then Beth receives a mobile phone from the killer — with a warning that he will hurt those closest to her if she tells anyone.
She’s talking to a dangerous predator but nobody knows. Not her team. Not her partner. No one.
Beth must break all the rules to stop any more girls from suffering. But will her everything be enough to stop a sick murderer?
