§Synopsis§

Two brutal murders. No witnesses.

The battered bodies of two young girls are discovered in North London, one shortly after the other. Desperate to avoid hysteria in the community, the police struggle to make a quick arrest before the deranged killer can strike again. Not having any luck, Detective Geraldine Steel, recently transferred to London, is called in to make sense of the grisly murders and the killer’s unusual signature: he extracts two teeth from each of his victims. With the death toll mounting, Geraldine is running out of time as she hunts for the elusive killer the papers have dubbed “The Dentist.”

From the author: Advice for aspiring writers.

If you are writing with the sole purpose of seeing your name in print, my advice to you is find something else to do. Writing can take over your life. As Eugene Ionesco said, ‘A writer never has a vacation. For a writer life consists of writing or thinking about writing.’ If you have a passion for writing, what William McIlvanney calls ‘an inexplicable compulsion’, accept that your writing will probably never be seen unless you go to the trouble and expense of self-publishing. But there is a chance that your book will be a success, read by millions of people. It happened to me. It could happen to you. So work hard to make your manuscript as good as it possibly can be. Then put it away until it has left your mind completely. After this break, revise the manuscript before enlisting the services of a professional editor. Spend as much as you can paying for the best help you can afford. One of the benefits of having a mainstream publisher is that your publisher will provide you with the right editor for your work. Doing this for yourself will be more difficult, requiring some research which you can carry out while taking a break from writing. Although if you are anything like me, you will be writing a second book while taking a break from the first one!
