DCS Kat Frank and AIDE Lock return in the provocative new thriller from the author of In the Blink of an Eye.
One detective driven by instinct, the other by logic.
It will take both to find a killer who knows the true meaning of fear . . .
When the body of a man is found crucified at the top of Mount Judd, AIDE Lock – the world’s first AI Detective – and DCS Kat Frank are thrust into the spotlight as they are given their first live case.
But with the discovery of another man’s body – also crucified – it appears that their killer is only just getting started. With the police warning local men to be vigilant, the Future Policing Unit is thrust into a hostile media frenzy as they desperately search for connections between the victims. But time is running out for them to join the dots and prevent another death.

My thoughts
This was a book that I grabbed from my local Library. I had previously read and enjoyed In the Blink of an Eye (Kat & Lock #1). The first foray into the world of DCS Kat Frank and her AIDE Lock. It was a world that introduced us to Lock the world's first AI Detective. One detective carrying out her work based on instinct and the other carrying out his based on logic and all things technological.
In this story Kat is thrown into the spotlight with Lock as they are given the task of trying to find out what has happened to a man that has been found killed and crucified at the top a local hill known as Mount Judd. When another man is also found in a similar way, it appears that this may not be a random act and it may be a serial killer or killers carrying out these atrocities. Can Kat and Lock find out who is doing this before anyone else is involved or will someone else sadly lose their life?
Kat and Lock have an unusual working relationship with one of them not being human. Kat finds it easy when she does not want to take notice of Lock, as all she has to do is switch him off. This is something you are not able to do when working with humans. I feel the author has created a believable world between the two characters and it makes me wonder how I would cope working with an AI form.
I am really enjoying this series , I can't wait to see where the author takes us on her journey with Kat and Lock as I feel they may have many crimes to solve in the future.
