When literary agent Sarah Matthews is found murdered in her St. Andrews office, the scene holds a chilling twist: pages from an unpublished manuscript describing her death with eerie precision.

Days later, DCI James Craig receives an envelope containing the next chapter—detailing another murder that hasn’t yet happened.

As bodies begin to appear across Fife, each staged exactly as written, Craig realises he’s chasing a killer who is using fiction as their blueprint for revenge. The victims all share a dark history in the ruthless publishing world, where loyalty is fleeting and betrayal can be fatal.

With every new chapter that arrives, Craig is forced deeper into a web of ambition, obsession, and secrets long buried. The killer is always one step ahead, writing the story as it unfolds—and Craig fears his own name may be destined for the final page.

Working alongside DS Craig Benini, the detectives uncover a grim reality: someone with an intimate knowledge of police procedure is hunting them down. Each crime scene is more meticulous than the last. Each victim is tied to a past someone will kill to keep buried.

As the body count rises, Craig and McNeil must confront a secret from the force’s past—one that connects the victims and threatens to destroy them all.

With time running out and all three detectives marked for death, Craig must expose the truth—before silence proves fatal.

A gripping British detective thriller packed with twists, secrets, and deadly consequences.
