Blurb: When you see him - it's already too late...

A Young woman's corpse is found within the groups of Edinburgh Castle with the message 'More Will Die' written on her body in blood. Soon, the prophecy is fulfilled as the death toll rises and more young women disappear - all redheads - their bodies found bludgeoned to death, their feet severed.

Quickly dubbed 'The Edinburgh Ripper' by the media baying for the killer's blood, the murders bring the city to its knees.

Headstrong lawyer Brodie McLennan teams up with DI Duncan Bancho in an effort to discover the identity of this warped killer. Soon, their investigations uncover an Eastern European ring of human traffickers and a depraved internet chat room.

Unbeknownst to Brodie, the killer's web is spinning ever closer to her teenaged sister Connie, recently back in her life. When Connie is reported missing, Brodie must uncover the Ripper's identity - before her own flesh and blood becomes the latest victim.
