  To be bullied or kill your bullies, that is the game. 
   
  A man’s body is found on a canal towpath. In his pocket, a magnetic letter in the shape of an E. 
   
  Days later, a second victim is murdered, this time with the letter V tucked into her clothing. 
   
  When the letter E is located near to a third victim, DI Allie Shenton and her colleagues are sent into full alert. Is their killer spelling a word, a name or are the letters an anagram? One thing's for certain as the body count rises - the eerie, childlike clues point to a pattern that doesn't look like stopping. 
   
  The race is on. Allie and the team must work quickly to determine where the killer will strike next. The rules are simple but deadly—to catch the killer, they must follow the leader. 
   
  Set within the gritty streets of Stoke-on-Trent, this fast-paced British detective novel is a dark murder mystery with an emotional pull. 
   
  Follow the Leader is the second novel in the Allie Shenton series of crime thrillers from the million selling British author, Mel Sherratt, and perfect for fans of DS Butler, LJ Ross, Angela Marsons, Joy Ellis, Rachel McClean, Caroline Mitchell and Meg Jolly.
