In the dead of a swelteringly hot summer’s night, Detective Erika Foster is called to a murder scene. The victim, a doctor, is found suffocated in bed. His wrists are bound and his eyes bulging through a clear plastic bag tied tight over his head.
A few days later, another victim is found dead, in exactly the same circumstances. As Erika and her team start digging deeper, they discover a calculated serial killer – stalking their victims before choosing the right moment to strike.
The victims are all single men, with very private lives. Why are their pasts shrouded in secrecy? And what links them to the killer?
As a heat wave descends upon London, Erika will do everything to stop the Night Stalker before the body count rises, even if it means risking her job. But the victims might not be the only ones being watched… Erika’s own life could be on the line.
The global bestselling author of The Girl in the Ice is back with a heart-racing, electrifying thriller. If you love Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott and Peter James, you’ll be hooked on Robert Bryndza.
Watch out for more from DCI Erika Foster.
She’s fearless. Respected. Unstoppable. Detective Erika Foster will catch a killer, whatever it takes.

My Review
This is the second in the Detective Erika Foster series and it certainly lived up to the high quality psychological thriller I've come to expect from Robert Bryndza.
The plot was fast paced and gripping, it starts with the discovery of a naked man's body who had been tied up, drugged and suffocated with a plastic bag. We quickly find out that it is the work of a vengeful serial killer and it becomes a race against time to prevent any more murders
I love Erika's tortured and flawed character even though she appears cold she is basically surviving with a broken heart after the death of her husband which she feels totally to blame for. I also really like the interactions she has with her colleagues Moss and Peterson. It's not a whodunnit as we find out who the killer is but we are then able to watch the game of cat and mouse unfold as Erika and the team try to solve the investigation.
This book grabbed me by the throat and didn't let go till I got to the end. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series and would definitely enjoy watching these on telly, move over Lynda La Plante. Another amazing success for Robert Bryndza.
