Is murder in her DNA? My mother lied to me. My family is not my own. If it wasn't for the genealogy test, I would never have known I was the child of another woman. Now I'm learning that I have four brothers I have never met. And one of them is a serial killer. My brother is taunting me to play his vicious game - solving his clues before he spills more blood. Who can I trust? How can I find and stop him before it is too late? And what if it is me he really wants?

'Perfectly plotted, sharply sophisticated and the most original thriller I've read this year. I couldn't put it down!' Jane Isaac

Is murder in her DNA?

My mother lied to me. My family is not my own. If it wasn't for the genealogy test, I would never have known I was the child of another woman.

Now I'm learning that I have four brothers I have never met. And one of them is a serial killer.

My brother is taunting me to play his vicious game - solving his clues before he spills more blood.

Who can I trust? How can I find and stop him before it is too late? And what if it is me he really wants?

A read-in-one-sitting, utterly nail-biting thriller that you will not be able to put down…Fans of Chris Carter and M.W. Craven will love this.

'Dark, chilling, original and compulsive, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!' A A Chaudhuri, author of The Loyal Friend
