  Midlands police chase a serial killer who inflicts death by the new urban weapon of choice. 
   
  Given the targets seem enveloped in love affairs and deceitful liaisons, Chief Inspector Gavin Roscoe suspects a motive of jealousy and revenge. But as the number of victims increases, the connection between them wears thin. 
   
  Is it really a broken heart holding the crossbow? And if it’s not some crazed Cupid, who has their finger on the trigger? 
   
  Plucky Detective Sergeant Sunita Roy doesn’t think they are looking in the right places. Yet without evidence, her theory won’t hold water. With the help of valiant and besotted DI Tom Vickers, she’ll take considerable risks to hunt down the hunter. 
   
  Following multiple leads, the duo will need to collar the right suspect, but nothing is quite what it seems in this exciting police procedural full of twists and turns. 
   
  THE CROSSBOW STALKER is the second standalone book to feature DCI Roscoe and DS Roy.

  In this volume we explore that difficult situation where lack of choice is your only choice.  We feel trapped either by the body or by the mind.  
   
  Our classic authors put their characters in positions that we can all relate too, and then devise fiendish and uncomfortable ways to deepen the malaise or perhaps offer some sort of escape, however temporary.

  Charlie Hunter does not like Christmas, especially the lead into it -- cooking endless servings of Christmas dinner. So when she is asked by Graeme Strickland, Michelin-starred chef, egomaniac and friend, to help out in a hotel restaurant in Edinburgh’s New Town, for a fortnight, she accepts with alacrity. The Head Chef, David Jenkins, is a very old friend of Strickland’s, and the job entails covering temporarily for a sous chef position, while Strickland provides cover for Charlie, gratis, in the Old Forge Café. 
   
  She is scheduled to be there for a fortnight. But Charlie arrives in Edinburgh just in time to discover David Jenkins being stretchered out. An autopsy reveals the Chef has been poisoned with mushrooms. Was it an accident or a murder attempt? It looks like Charlie may be doing a rather different job…
