A black orchid on the body. A message scrawled on the mirror. And a killer who wants justice.

Christine Summers has thrown out her cheating boyfriend. Then she stops turning up for work.

Her manager calls at her terraced house in the Warwickshire town of Queensbridge. Flies are swarming at the window. A terrible smell seeps through the letterbox.

Inside, police discover a woman’s decomposing body. She has been strangled with a guitar cable. A black orchid lies on her chest. And on the mirror, in black eyeliner, are four chilling words: GOD'S JUSTICE FOR ALL!

Detective Gavin Roscoe takes the case. But his sergeant, Sunita Roy, is not convinced the dead woman is Christine.

Roscoe has troubles of his own. His new boss talks of moving him on from the CID team he has lead for years. A quick result could keep his job.

Then a second woman is found strangled in her village cottage. Another orchid. Another message.

Can Roscoe and Sunita stop the Orchid Murderer before the killer strikes again?

Perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Peter James and Angela Marsons.
