Description
London, 1986. A newspaper editor is horrifically murdered, his death quickly followed by a series of more brutal, and often bizarre, slayings. The police are baffled, the only clear link between the murders being a single blood red rose left at the scene of every killing. Scotland Yard detective Alan Winters leads a hunt for the elusive prey. As the body count rises, Jennifer Chapman, renowned investigative journalist and daughter of the murdered newspaper editor, sets out on a personal quest for revenge. Drawn together in their pursuit of a deadly quarry, Winters and Jennifer unwittingly face a fatal surprise, for the killer is closer than they think. Blood of the Rose is a classic crime thriller, driven around a compelling central relationship between detective Alan Winters and beautiful journalist Jennifer Chapman. In the tradition of all brilliant crime novels the reader is drawn into the mystery, mayhem and murder, and left guessing until the very end to the identity of the terrifying killer.
