The Twenty (Major Crimes, Book 2)
English
By (author): Sam Holland
A shocking crime scene
DCI Adam Bishop has never seen anything like it. Five murder victims all with numbers written above their bodies. And the spray-painted daubs reveal a horrific truth: the killer is counting down
A case that twists and turns
When Dr Romilly Cole learns of the murders, they trigger memories of a traumatic past she has tried hard to forget. But getting involved with the case is a bad idea. She and Bishop have history and working together could never end well.
A race against time to stop a killer
Adam and Romilly soon realise the truth lies in a decades-old case, and only Romilly holds the key. But they must act quickly, because with every passing day, there are more victims. And as the numbers edge toward zero, the murders get closer to home
The Twenty is smart and brooding, icepick-sharp and shadow-dark; best of all, though, its scary as hell. Think youre tough? Pick up this novel and prove it

Victoria Selman, author of Truly Darkly Deeply
If you like crime thats dark, twisted, and keeps you up all night, Holland is the author for you
Jack Jordan, author of Do No Harm
Really disturbing and gripping but with a trademark sexy cop at the heart to offset the serial killer gore. Lots of fun in a very nightmarish way
