She knows how to give tenderness. But the price for it is death…
In the penthouse of a luxurious London hotel, the body of a successful banker, Nigel Baxter, is found dead. The bathroom is filled to the brim with blood; there are cuts on his wrists; there are no signs of a struggle—everything looks like a neatly staged suicide. The investigation is assigned to experienced detective Daniel Riley, and he almost immediately senses that the picture is too carefully composed. Too flawless, too dramatic… and the small details seem to have been deliberately arranged so that they’d be noticed. This murder was “for show”—and it seems to be done by a woman’s hand.
Security camera footage shows a platinum-blonde woman, but her face is hidden—there isn’t a single clear shot. All Riley has to work with is explicit correspondence and thanks for generous gifts. By decoding messages on a dating site offering escort services, he learns her nickname—Goldilocks. And Baxter called her “Papa-Bear.” Riley realizes he’s hunting a serial killer who assembles her own “fairy-tale family.” And only he can stop the next deaths—if the mysterious blonde isn’t one step ahead…
“Good heavens! Give me a minute to pick my jaw up off the floor. This is a completely stunning start to the Dan Riley series. In ‘Black Heart’ there’s everything… The novel hooked me from the very beginning and kept me until the end… Thrilling, unbelievable, and addictive.” – Novel Deelights
“I was flicking through the pages, desperately trying to get to the next chapter… In the end I read everything in one sitting.” – It’s All About the Books
“Brilliant book! Amazing psychological twists that continue all the way to the very last page. I even got teary-eyed… Honestly, I can’t wait for the next installment.” – Goodreads
“Wow!.. I wanted more, which, in my opinion, is a sign of a great book!.. Outstanding!” – Goodreads
