Cruel Justice: Justice Series, Book 1 (Unabridged‪)‬

The headless body of a wealthy widow is discovered decomposing in Chelling Forest. Then a second victim is found. Detective Inspector Lorne Simpkins and her partner, DS Pete Childs, are assigned the case. Before they can discover the identity of the killer they must make a connection between the two victims.

After a third murder, Lorne receives a grisly surprise. Clearly, a vicious serial killer is on a rampage, and Lorne has become the killer's fixation.

Lorne can't allow her failing marriage or her new boss - a man with whom she shares a sensuous secret - keep her from focusing on her job. She must catch the macabre murderer, or risk becoming the next victim.
