Cold Heart

A series of bizarre crimes across the English city of Sheffield brings a police detective and a PI together in an increasingly dangerous game . . .

Liam Bennet has just quit the force to become a private detective--and to his frustration, his first case is a weird petty crime while his good friend acting DCI Liz Miller is assigned a murder. Two murders, in fact--one recent, the other involving a skeletonized body, but both linked by pictures of dice at the scenes.

After Liz is attacked on the job, Liam visits her in hospital and they discover another odd connection: both Liam and the police are looking into teachers who've been victimised. Meanwhile, more dice keep turning up--though the crimes connected to them seem utterly random, ranging from the serious to the bizarre.

As the two close in on the mystery, will they be able to identify a pattern--or is their luck about to run out?
