Publisher's Summary

The best-selling author of the compelling DI Bliss crime series is back with another stunning novel. 

When death becomes the kindest cut of all.

When slices of flesh and body parts are discovered in different areas of the country, DI Bliss and his team are tasked with running the operation. After Bliss realises the victims have been subjected to a specific form of torture, it leads him to a cold case involving the brutal and bloody murder of a woman in London 26 years earlier. 

As the team discover links between their victims, the murdered woman and gangland crime, they begin a dangerous investigation into both the past and the present. But Bliss is stumped, unable to decide if the current spate of mutilations are acts of revenge or the result of ageing criminals seeking to hide their despicable actions. Following a leak to the media, Bliss’s reaction may have dire consequences.

With the hunt for the victims at fever point, Bliss uncovers evidence steering him in the direction of one particular individual. The only problem being, his prime suspect is the one person it cannot possibly be. When Bliss orders a sting operation, the astonishing truth is revealed. And that’s when things really start to go wrong.... 

The stunning DI Bliss series of fast-paced police thrillers will appeal to fans of authors like Michael Connelly, Joy Ellis, Peter James, Robert Bryndza and Angela Marsons. Tony J. Forder is also the best-selling author of Degrees of Darkness, Scream Blue Murder and Cold Winter Sun.

I have a crush on Jimmy.

I love this series and the characters. I have a huge crush on Jimmy. I've downloaded every volume available. Unusual for me, but the crime fiction has actually become secondary.

Too long and far too slow

What a shame I could not enjoy this book. The story would have been better had it not been so very long and badly narrated. A good idea but DI Bliss is such a bore. He prattles on and on, much of which is repetition and I found myself omitting chapters in the hope of more action and less chat. As for the narrator, perhaps a change of tone and more characterisation might have helped but perhaps he became as bored as I was.

This is a brilliant series and Jimmy Bliss is what I’d hope a ‘copper’ to be. Again great story line and narrator is totally believable. I hope this isn’t the end of the series!
