A THRILLING CRIME MYSTERY WITH AN ENDING YOU WON'T SEE COMING. This twisted killer wants to make an exhibition of himself.

Detective Markham visits the Reynolds Museum, Oxford, hoping to take in a little culture.

Instead, he finds a grisly crime scene.

Someone has been there after-hours. And they've left their own addition to the exhibit.

A battered body, posed in a glass case for all to see.

The victim is historian Dr Timothy Colthurst, golden boy of Sherwin College.

His friends and peers - members of the academic elite - might seem respectable. But one of them is hiding a killer secret.

Can DI Markham hunt them down before anyone else pays the ultimate price?

THE DETECTIVES DI GILBERT ("GIL") MARKHAM DI Markham is a startlingly talented detective rising through the ranks of Bromgrove CID. He is distant and austere - the product of a profoundly difficult childhood - but has a natural magnetism which inspires loyalty. He clashes with his slippery boss, DCI Sidney, who prioritizes the force's public image.

DS GEORGE ("NOAKESY") NOAKES DS Noakes is a slobbish, uncouth and outspoken Yorkshireman, an object of despair to his superiors. He is, however, also a man of hidden depths, with a sensitive streak and a secret flair for ballroom dancing. Markham sees through his philistinism and they form an unstoppable partnership.
