What you need to know before your trail

Someone is committing the kind of cutting that surgeons don’t usually do. And doing it to doctors who perform various kinds of operations. Killing them with the cuts and mutilations that they perform on their patients. Only there is no coming back from these type of operations.

Erica Bruce, an alternative health therapist gets on the case and works alongside, well locks horns if truth be told, with DI Will Bennett. Her way of working, her stubbornness and general sense of going her way annoys him and others, but she is determined to find this sadistic killer before anyone else dies.

Travel Guide

If you found the Rotting spot of the first novel grim, then it’s definitely grim up North as we’re back in the North East, the North East Coast to be precise where the castles and the coast stand out as the historic landmarks and the pubs and clubs as the more ‘modern’.

This is the setting for someone who is going around killing doctors and then cutting them up just as they do in operations although there is no going back from this.

The medical theme with its uses of knives and other operating implements is as cutting as the North East wind, blasting the coastline and the North Sea. As cutting as the sharp wit of the locals.

Amateur sleuth, Erica Bruce, and her nemesis, Inspector Will Bennett are alarmed at this latest case and their love hate relationship raises the stakes this time too. Just as well the warm Geordie banter provides moments of light relief.
