Here we find Sophie in therapy after a close shave with a serial killer and a stint in hospital. But her ‘big black nightmares’ have more to do with the unsolved death of her drug addict brother Tommy than more recent events.

Written with Jackson’s distinctive narrative energy, that special brand of journalistic cynical humour, and lashings of tension and emotional intensity, The Perfect Victim is a dark and addictive page-turner and ensures that crime fans will be coming back for more!
