The Wordsmith by M K Farrar
The Wordsmith by M K Farrar (DI Erica Swift #13)
English | 2024 | Mystery & Thriller
A new killer is stalking London’s streets—one who appears to be basing his murders on the fictional crimes of a local author.
When the body of a young man is found spiked to a railing in East London, DI Erica Swift and her team are brought in to investigate.
The disturbing murder only becomes more grisly by the discovery of cuts in the man’s chest that appear to form the letter ‘N’.
Does the murder have anything to do with the mystery business that’s located behind the railings?
With Erica in her current condition, her job becomes even more complicated. When a local author comes forward with her books, claiming she’s already written about the murder, Erica doesn’t know what to think.
A second murder—more violent than the first, which also matches one of the author’s books—pushes Erica’s investigation towards the fictional world.
Can she track down the culprit before there’s a third?
