Detective Superintendent Jack Hawksworth is seconded by counter-terrorism to investigate a spate of domestic events. First it was needles in strawberries, then tampering with lipstick samplers and baby formula. But when toxic mushrooms hit the supermarket shelves and a death occurs, a wave of panic is set to sweep the country. Breaking news of a possible serial killer only heightens the alarm.

There are no leads, no DNA, no witnesses, no CCTV footage. Jack and his team must work on instinct to figure out why someone would want to harm innocent victims, each of them curiously linked to a single blood transfusion.

Then a hospital bomb threat erupts, and it’s up to Jack’s team to prevent the inevitable bloodshed. But the clock is ticking, and no one is safe from the possibility of a tragedy on a catastrophic scale.

Fiona McIntosh is one of Australia’s favourite storytellers. Originally born and raised in Sussex, Fiona sets her DCI Jack Hawksworth books in the UK, and she is delighted to be bringing the Scotland Yard detective home. She divides her time between South Australia and Wiltshire.
