The London Knife Murders (Vance and Shepherd Mysteries Book 8)

About The London Knife Murders

A ruthless killer stalks the streets of London, striking without warning and leaving a chilling signature—each victim found with a precise knife wound that hints at something far more sinister than random violence. As fear grips the city, seasoned detectives Jake Vance and Dan Shepherd are assigned to track down the perpetrator before more lives are lost.

But this is no ordinary case. The murderer’s method is meticulous, their choice of victims perplexing, and the clues left behind seem almost like taunts aimed directly at the police. As Vance and Shepherd dig deeper, they uncover links to the city’s criminal underbelly, long-buried grudges, and a shocking connection to one of their past investigations. The deeper they go, the more personal—and dangerous—the case becomes.

With pressure mounting from the media and their superiors demanding swift results, the detectives must navigate a labyrinth of secrets, betrayals, and false leads. When the killer starts playing mind games, leaving cryptic messages that hint at the next strike, Vance and Shepherd realize they’re dealing with a criminal unlike any they’ve faced before. Will they stop the murderer before another body turns up, or will they become the next targets in this deadly game?
