Description
This book was previously published as The Fifteen.
Eighty-one year old Eddie Wakefield is found brutally murdered in the nursing home where he lives. Crudely carved into his flesh - while he was still alive - is the number fifteen.
Detective Inspector Jack MacIntosh and his team are determined to track down the ruthless killer - but the investigation is leading nowhere.
Then a second body is discovered - the victim stabbed to death in their own home. Again, the number fifteen is etched into his flesh.
A single clue leads to St Bartholomew's Home for Boys - a grim and forbidding institution on England's south coast - and a series of shocking secrets stretching back more than forty years.
Will Jack and his team discover the horrifying truth?
Revenge - how long would you wait?
