JACK KNIFE

A STANDALONE STORY

 A pulse-pounding British crime thriller with an astonishing twist.

Detective Bill Roach spent his police career hunting a notorious killer known as Jack the Knife. Now he must re-hone his skills to hunt another equally ruthless killer.

1975

It’s the worst thing Detective Bill Roach has ever seen. A young woman’s body is found beside a busy road. She’s been disembowelled — while she was still alive. Placed on her chest is a cassette player. Inside is a sixty-minute tape, playing just one song over and over again: Mack the Knife.

With his copper’s instincts, Bill knows this isn’t the last they’ll hear of the killer they call Jack the Knife. He’s right. The hunt for Jack won’t end for almost fifty years.
