Impaled

A heinous crime spoils a veteran detective's appetite
DI Stewart Gardener's first romantic dinner with a love interest since the passing of his wife is interrupted by a call from the station. Someone has been killed, and it sounds nasty.

The victim, found dead and tied to a chair in the bedroom of his house, has something like nails driven into his chest and his hands cut off.

With his trusted lieutenant, Sean Reilly, and the rest of the serious crimes team, Gardener tries to make sense of the violent death. Was the killer sending the detectives a message?

But with the only clue being a strange figure spotted leaving the scene dressed in a long coat and hat, and carrying a doctor's bag, the detectives have little to go on.

As theories are bandied around, Gardener begins to sense the answer is right in front of him. Can he unlock the secrets of the case before the killer strikes again?
