Short description

D.I. Angela Marsh is a hard hitting, no nonsense detective that is targeted by a serial psychopathic killer. The murderer displays the victims as pieces of art and offers to stop the killings if the detective agrees to trade places with the next target. D.I. Marsh has also to face her demons from her past as it comes to light that the killer is someone she knows. But who?

It had taken a long time to plan, to think things through, covering every detail, every possibility and now it was time to begin his work. He was not going to be second best any longer he was to take centre stage and be noticed. Yes, he most certainly was going to be noticed and prove to her that he was the best.

Taking a couple of steps backwards produced a smile across the now sweating face. It had been hard work but the results were very pleasing. A true artist has to put 110% into every detail of the planning and execution, yes that was the appropriate word, execution; the planning and execution of every artistic creation should be a window into the genius of the artist themselves.

This exhibition was very pleasing. Taking a last look around and straightening a black frame on the wall the artist collected the last of the preparation tools.

Review by: David Martin on April 01, 2013 :
I read this book, "the Photographer" on Smashwords recently, my very first acquaintance with Smashwords. Enjoyed it and like the format. It's easy to read and since both my wife and I are interested in photography, it was a good first book. Interesting how the author wove that into the story. I'd recommend it to others.

Review by: P. LeZure on March 25, 2013 :
I have now read both this book and the follow up called 'Devil takes a bow', both great reading and well thought out, an interesting storyline that holds attention and prevents you from putting the book down, making you intrigued as to what is just around the corner.
I am now eagerly awaiting the next in the series and recommend the whole series.

Great read. Interesting story line, attractive characters and fast-paced. Needs a better editor though. Typos, and missing words and punctuation interrupt the flow.
