Description
She thought she'd left her past behind.
She was wrong...
Despite a childhood in the care system, Anna Price has beaten the odds and built for herself the perfect life, complete with beautiful seaside home, devoted husband and a job she loves.
Then a policeman appears at Anna's door: her estranged brother Henry is a wanted serial killer, and the police need Anna's help to catch him before he strikes again.
When an envelope turns up on her doorstep, Anna suddenly finds herself caught in a sick game. One that she remembers all too well from childhood - one that, this time, she must win at all costs...

Person
After completing a psychology degree, Alice Hunter became an interventions facilitator in a prison. There, she was part of a team offering rehabilitation programmes to men serving sentences for a wide range of offences, often working with prisoners who'd committed serious violent crimes. Previously, Alice had been a nurse, working in the NHS. She now puts her experiences to good use in fiction. The Serial Killer's Wife draws heavily on her knowledge of psychology and the criminal mind. The Serial Killer's Sister is Alice Hunter's third novel.
