About The Anniversary Man

There's a serial murderer running amok in Kingsport. Four murders... all women... all with something faintly familiar in common... But the perpetrator is no amateur. He has DCI Carter and his CID team stumped... or is it more likely that they're too wrapped up in so many other Kingsport cases right now to really get inside his head? They're dealing with an opportune thief, the discovery of a pensioner's body at the bottom of his stairs, a dangerous and wanted child molester, and there're trying to the nail a burglar who stole some expensive Georgian silver just hours before an important dinner party. When Carter et al finally make the connection between the Kingsport murder victims and the culprit's obsession with Jack the Ripper, it seems they may have been too late. They're running out of time and the murderer has vanished off the face of the earth. If history is going to repeat itself (and it's showing all the right signs) there is one more death to come. The date is obvious. Carter even knows who the victim will be. So how will they keep this woman safe until this killer is captured? Or will they have to live with her murder for the rest of their lives? Be prepared to be gripped by the fast-paced, unanticipated cat and mouse chase that ensues, and find out for yourself if the murderer succumbs to the inevitable or manages to hoodwink his aspiring captors for one final time.
