He has always been the hunter. He is about to become the prey.

For years, DCI Robert Kett has tracked down the country’s most dangerous kidnappers and serial killers, earning a reputation as the best man to call to catch the worst men.

The tables are about to turn.

When somebody starts brutally murdering the people that Kett has put behind bars—and the ones that he wasn’t able to catch—it seems as if there is a vigilante on the loose.

Tasked with keeping one of these criminals alive, Kett starts to understand that something far more dangerous is going on.

Because this killer isn’t just coming after the bad guys.

He’s coming after Kett, too.

Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His latest books, the DCI Robert Kett thrillers, have monsters in them too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between these two books, he has published 13 novels for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith—including the best-selling series Escape From Furnace, which is loved by millions of listeners worldwide, and is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.
