1984: It looked like a simple job. That was why they gave it to him. Guarding a woman – nameless and almost faceless after a savage acid attack – at a Glasgow hospital, PC Alan McAlpine has no idea that this simple job will haunt his career and change his life forever.
2006: Two decades later, Alan steps into Partickhill police station and back in time. Now a celebrated Detective Chief Inspector, McAlpine has been drafted in to lead the hunt for a man the press are calling ‘the Crucifixion Killer’. Two women are already dead, their mutilated bodies laid with arms outstretched.
With his distinguished reputation, McAlpine’s team are confident their new DCI will lead them to the killer. But the obsession that was born in a hospital room twenty-two years earlier has never quite left Alan. And now, it seems, it’s come back for a reason …

Paperback. Caro Ramsay, Penguin Books Ltd. A woman lies mummified in a hospital in Glasgow after acid has been thrown in her face. The woman is mute and nameless. And helpless. PC Alan McAlpine is put on protection duty outside. He calls the woman Anna, and as they learn to communicate through tiny finger movements, he cannot help but become emotionally - and obsessively - involved. Twenty years later, and back at the same station, the now DCI McAlpine has been drafted in to head up a murder inquiry. Two women are already dead at the hands of a man the press call the Crucifixion Killer. McAlpine, at the peak of a distinguished twenty-two-year career, is confident he'll solve the murders - until consequences of Anna's unsolved case emerge. As his team race to unmask a terrifying killer, McAlpine finds that he cannot put his obsession behind him. Paperback. Codice articolo 9780141029245-SECONDHAND
