Overview
Blood Lines is the gripping fifth instalment in Angela Marsons' bestselling Detective Kim Stone Crime Thriller Series. When a caring social worker is murdered in what first looks like a robbery gone wrong, Detective Kim Stone senses something isn't right. A second victim, killed with an identical wound, confirms her instincts — she's hunting a calculating killer who leaves no trace, all while an old enemy plots against her from behind bars.

About the Book
A victim killed with a single, precise stab to the heart appears at first glance to be a robbery gone wrong. A caring, upstanding social worker lost to a senseless act of violence. But for Detective Kim Stone, something doesn't add up. When a local drug addict is found murdered with an identical wound, Kim knows instinctively that she is dealing with the same killer. But with nothing to link the two victims except the cold, calculated nature of their deaths, this could be her most difficult case yet.

As Kim and her team race against time to find a pattern connecting two seemingly unrelated victims, she is dealt a further blow: a chilling letter arrives from Dr Alex Thorne, the sociopathic psychiatrist Kim helped put behind bars. Thorne has a master plan to secure her freedom — and it involves destroying Kim Stone in the process. Balancing a tense cat-and-mouse psychological battle with a methodical serial murder investigation, Blood Lines delivers the fast pace, sharp plotting and emotional depth that have made the Kim Stone series a phenomenon with millions of readers worldwide. Fans of Mark Billingham, Val McDermid and Rachel Abbott will find plenty to love in this instalment.
