'Creepy and compulsive, this is Belsham's first excursion into crime and it announces the arrival of a fine new voice' Daily Mail

A policeman on his first murder case
A tattoo artist with a deadly secret
And a twisted serial killer sharpening his blades to kill again...

When Brighton tattoo artist Marni Mullins discovers a flayed body, newly-promoted DI Francis Sullivan needs her help. There's a serial killer at large, slicing tattoos from his victims' bodies while they're still alive. Marni knows the tattooing world like the back of her hand, but has her own reasons to distrust the police. So when she identifies the killer's next target, will she tell Sullivan or go after the Tattoo Thief alone?

'Better than Lee Child . . . Well written and gripping, would definitely recommend!' Amazon review 5*

'Edgy and ice cool - Marni Mullins is my kind of heroine!' Marnie Riches
