Jack McCain #1
Death Delights
Gabrielle Lord
When Jack left the police force to join the Forensic Science Unit in
Canberra, he thought his days of visiting crime scenes were over. But
while he's on leave in Sydney, his old friend Bob asks him to help out
with a series of grisly murders. Someone is horribly mutilating and
murdering convicted paedophiles the moment they are released from jail.
Still grieving from the collapse of his marriage and the disappearance
of Jacinta, his teenage daughter, four years earlier, Jack tries to make
sense of what is happening. An anonymous caller seems to link his
daughter with the murders, though pursuit of that line of questioning
leads nowhere fast. Against his instincts and professional judgement,
Jack allows himself to become enmeshed in an affair that threatens to
jeopardise the entire investigation. And then suddenly, Jacinta rings
Jack, a desperate voice on the line saying, 'Dad, I've just done
something really stupid...'
