A killer on the loose. A headless torso on his hands. Has Jack Mason’s past finally caught up with him?

When DCI Jack Mason is sent to investigate a gruesome double murder, his entire world is turned upside down. The ex-wife of a notorious gangster lies dead, a second victim’s body is missing, and the evidence doesn’t stack up. A few days later, when a young man’s body turns up hidden inside a city storage locker, the head and hands are missing. With Jack’s powers of investigation tested to the limit, a criminal profiler is brought in. But, the inner workings of this killer’s mind won’t be easy to decipher. In a world of human trafficking, drugs, and gangland unrest, who can Jack trust? Dripping with atmosphere and sense of place, the Suitcase Man is a puzzle that will keep you on the edge of your seat! There’s suspense, humour, and a dash of romance thrown in.
