About the book: 

The second book in the Ruben Ellis series and the sequel to  Now You Suffer.

Some secrets can’t be burnt away.

Cops are being murdered all over the city, each falling victim to a designer poison that causes them to bleed out. Unable to make a breakthrough in the case and with the bodies piling up, detectives Ruben and Zander recruit counsellor Melissa to help them.

Hoping that her unique insights into the human psyche might help trigger a discovery, they’re expecting to hunt down some kind of deranged lunatic. The real murderer, however, is a devilishly intelligent professor of human physiology, an academic icon standing on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery.

Why is he killing them? How many more will fall victim to his brilliance? And who’s next?
