Description

A mother lies brutally murdered in her ransacked, two-bedroomed flat. Beside her are the bloodstained bodies of the two police officers who were first on the scene. In the bedroom are the victim's two children, a six-year-old boy and a baby, slaughtered as they slept. And the killer is still in the flat. Paterson sets off in hot pursuit. But after a desperate rooftop chase, the killer escapes. The following day, another woman is found dead in her own home, her decapitated body carefully posed in her living room, her wrists pierced by crucifixes. Why were these women targeted? Paterson and Clocks have never had to deal with a killer like this. A killer who shows no mercy. A killer who can't be reasoned with. A killer who covers their tracks with super-human efficiency. If they are to get their man, the two detectives must break every rule in the book. At the same time, married life is not turning out as Clocks had hoped, and his newly-discovered son has just given him some very bad news . . .

Author Biography:

Steve Parker was born and raised in south east London. At age twenty-one, he joined the Metropolitan Police where he served for twenty years in numerous high profile squads before injury forced him out.On leaving the police he took up an enforcement job with a local authority until being made redundant. Once the dust had settled, he decided he'd had enough of enforcement work and decided that early retirement looked good.Thankfully, he was blessed with a complete lack of DIY skills so was legitimately able to get away with swanning around the house doing bugger all, all day long. Finding himself with plenty of spare time and a deep desire to never work for anyone again, he dug out an old screenplay he'd written when he was still a policeman and set himself a challenge to turn it into the book which eventually became his debut novel Their Last Words introducing Detectives Paterson & Clocks.He currently lives in the windier part of East Sussex with his wife and the laziest Cockapoo you've ever seen.
