Klappentext

They've done bad things... do they deserve to die?

When **Detective Kim Stone **races to the crime scene, the paramedics are desperately trying to save the victim's life. But there is something very strange about the way the man was left, his arms raised, his legs spread apart. When he dies on the way to the hospital, Kim is certain she's on the hunt for a killer... but all evidence at the scene has been destroyed.

The dead man seems ordinary, until the team dig into his past. As a teenager, he was locked away for attacking his girlfriend. And when another man is found, his bones broken to force him into an unnatural shape, Kim realises the killer is sending a message - the victims' bodies are spelling out their sins.

Is someone finally getting revenge... or do they think these men are still dangerous? Do these victims deserve what's coming to them? Or is there even more to fear from their brutal killer?

**Unputdownable from start to finish, Bad Blood is a brilliantly gripping crime thriller with a reveal you'll never see coming. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Robert Dugoni and Val McDermid will love the latest compulsive read from multi-million-copy bestseller Angela Marsons.

Can be read as a standalone.
