This book was previously published as The Surrogate This killer wants a baby. And they’ll do anything to get one. DI Phil Brennan of Colchester Major Crime has seen his share of horrors. But this crime scene will haunt him forever. Heavily pregnant Claire Fielding lies dead on her bed, brutally butchered in her own flat. Her stomach gapes open. Her baby is nowhere to be found. The killer took the baby because they wanted him alive. For now . . . It’s up to Detective Brennan to hunt for the killer, and save an innocent new life before it’s too late — but he can’t do it alone. Brennan needs the help of Marina Esposito. She’s the most brilliant profiler he knows, and the only one who can get under the skin of this twisted killer. Even if she is his ex-lover . . . But little does Brennan suspect Marina is now pregnant with another man’s child — and in the killer’s sights. Can they put aside their own feelings long enough to crack this impossible case? Before it cracks them . . .
