How do you catch a killer who doesn’t exist?
After twenty years on the force, Detective Chief Inspector Jack Logan thinks he has seen it all.
He is wrong.
When a nurse is murdered on her way home from nightshift, Jack and his team go on the hunt for her killer.
As more victims are uncovered, Jack finds himself tracking a murderer afflicted by a unique psychosis – one that leaves him free to maim and kill without a shred of guilt or remorse.
Facing a new type of killer in an unfamiliar city, DCI Jack Logan is about to be pushed to his limits by an enemy he cannot hope to understand.
The Killing Code is the third DCI Jack Logan crime thriller, and perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Chris Brookmyre, and LJ Ross.

Gritty & Gripping!
Another tremendously gripping book in this exciting series!
When a nurse is found in the hospital grounds, brutally murdered on her way home from her shift, Jack Logan is charged with finding her murderer – but this case is very different. The perpetrator has no conscience at all, and murders freely, and in the most horrific manner. As the squad dig in and do what they’re best at, can they stop the culprit before the body toll rises?
Having enjoyed the third book so much, I couldn’t resist slipping this one into this month’s reads. I do like Jack Logan; he comes across as good solid ‘polis’ – one who rose through the ranks and is no stranger to standing his ground. In this fourth novel, we not only follow the crime but see a bit more of Jack off duty and I feel as if I know him just a tad better than I did. One things for sure – he doesn’t suffer fools gladly! I would never have guessed who the murderer was this time round and was gripped all the way through. Well written and imaginative, this is definitely worth all five stars, along with my recommendation.
I downloaded the ebook with Kindle Unlimited; this is – as always – my honest, original and unbiased review.
