THE MILLION-COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER RETURNS WITH A DARK AND TERRIFYING JOURNEY INTO THE MIND OF A KILLER.

‘Truly exceptional…twists and turns that I didn't see coming, a unique concept, and brilliant characters…simply captivating.’ JOHN MARRS

________

He’s going to kill you. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Midnight Jones is an analyst trained to understand the human mind. But everything changes when, in the course of her work, she discovers Profile K’s file – because K stands for killer, and she knows that someone more dangerous than she could have ever imagined walks among them.

Midnight knows what Profile K is capable of before he even commits his first crime. But as the news rolls with the brutal murder of a local woman, no one believes what she tells them: that he is capable of so much worse.

Profile K will kill again – and, terrifyingly, Midnight realises that the moment she found his file was the moment she became his next target. Because Profile K is coming for Midnight – and the only way to escape with her life is to find him before he finds her…

The million-copy bestseller is back with a dark, terrifying journey into the mind of a psychopath that will keep you riveted until the very last page.

I loved this book! I couldn't stop listening. The premise is original and scarily believable; the characters were all very well-rounded, even the minor players. They were all - villains included! - treated with wisdom and compassion. As well as all this, the narration was flawless. I suspected that the ending left the potential for sequels - I'd jump at the chance to read more. Well done, everybody. Can't wait for the next one.

I've listened for about 5 hours, was good until reached the point of a very detailed scenes and it was too much for me.
But for people who are experienced crime readers this might be quite a good story.
