Laughing Boy (Charlie Priest #8)

A serial killer is stalking the streets of Heckley. And only Detective Priest can stop them.

Laura Heeley, a thirty-something mother-of-two, leaves bingo after yet another fruitless night — unaware that it will be her last.

As she turns down an unlit country lane, a ten-inch, razor-edged stiletto is plunged into her back.

Priest can find no motive and no suspects.

Then the body of another young woman is found, just half a mile from her home. The popular student was strangled with a plastic clothesline.

A serial killer is roaming Heckley. He’s becoming more daring, practically laughing at Priest with each fresh murder.

As the body count rises, Priest faces his biggest challenge yet . . .
