The Observer of Death

The Death Watcher is the thirteenth novel in the series about detectives Robert Hunter and Carlos Garcia

How do you catch a serial killer when you don't know the crime scene or all his victims?
How do you stop a ghost whose existence cannot be proven?
During a routine autopsy of a victim from a seemingly ordinary car accident, Dr Carolyn Hove, the Chief Medical Examiner for the City of Los Angeles, discovers several baffling inconsistencies and calls in Detective Robert Hunter from the LAPD's Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Not only has Dr Hove discovered that the death was not caused by the car crash, but she has also found signs that the victim was brutally tortured before they died. However, at that moment, no one has any idea that Dr Hove has stumbled upon just the tip of the iceberg, one that will lead Hunter and his partner, Carlos Garcia, on the trail of a depraved and cunning killer hiding in plain sight – a serial killer no one knew existed; a killer who has always operated covertly, skilfully masking every heinous murder as an accidental death. But with no leads as to why the victim was targeted, the investigation stalls until another body is found with an alternative cause of death. One thing is clear: this serial killer will not stop – until Hunter and Garcia catch him.
