What is "The Head Collector" about?

A BRAND NEW utterly chilling psychological thriller from Mark Griffin, author of the Holly Wakefield Thrillers

'A thrilling new talent' Peter James

The killer is always one step ahead...

Criminal psychologist Oswald Bennet understands the minds of killers better than anyone – because he was raised by two of them. Now, working alongside DI Anderson of the Portland Police, Oswald is pulled into a chilling case that will test his every limit.

When a devoted mother is brutally decapitated in her basement, authorities rule it an impossibly elaborate suicide. But Oswald knows better, recognising the hallmarks of a highly organised, theatrical predator.

As another headless body turns up on the local Amtrak tracks, a terrifying pattern emerges. Drawn into a deadly psychological game where terror strikes dangerously close to home, Oswald must face his own darkest demons before time runs out.

The Head Collector is a pulse-pounding serial-killer thriller exploring obsession and the terrifying depths of the human mind.
