Shortlisted for the CWA New Blood Dagger

Will DI Geraldine Steel become a serial killer's ultimate trophy?

When DI Geraldine Steel relocates to the quiet rural town of Woolsmarsh, she expects to find her new home to be somewhere where nothing much ever happens; a space where she can battle her demons in private. But when she finds herself pitted against a twisted killer preying on local young women she quickly discovers how wrong she was...

By day, the park is a place for children's games, for people walking their dogs or taking a short cut to avoid the streets. But in the shadows a predator prowls. When an unwitting bystander comes forward as a witness to an attack, she quickly becomes the next object of his murderous obsessions.

DI Geraldine Steel is locked into a race against time, determined to find the killer before they discover yet another naked corpse. Can she save the lives of the town's young women - or will Geraldine herself become the killer's ultimate trophy?

For fans of Angela Marsons, Peter James and Robert Bryndza, Cut Short is a gripping crime investigation that introduces DI Geraldine Steel, a woman whose past is threatening to collide with her future. . .

'Cut Short is a stylish, top-of-the-line crime tale, seamless blending of psychological sophistication and gritty police procedure. And you're just plain going to love DI Geraldine Steel' – Jeffrey Deaver
