The Blood Detective

In The Blood Detective Dan Waddell has created an original take on the police hunt for a serial killer who leaves cryptic clues on the bodies of his victims. Nigel Barnes, a geneologist, decyphers the clues which relate to a series of muders in Victorian London. If Barnes theory is right then the killer intends to strike no less than five times. The police team always seem to be one step behind the killer who manipulates the investigation by laying clues to duplicate the Victorian case which resulted in a miscarriage of justice. Waddell has linked the past with the present in an intriguing fast paced story with great characters and a cracking climax.
