Description
He once saved her life. Now he's her prime suspect.
A masked intruder strangles a musician, leaving behind a chilling clue: a macabre letter styled as an employment termination notice. All evidence points to Adrian Pryce, the charming president of the video game powerhouse Taurus Studios.
Detective Lucy Duvall is assigned to the case, but her colleagues in the Philadelphia PD are baffled by her unusually restrained approach. For Lucy, the investigation is personal. Years ago, Adrian heroically saved her-only to break her heart.
As the so-called "Taurus Strangler" claims more victims, Adrian's guilt seems undeniable. With the body count rising and her personal history threatening to derail her career, Lucy must untangle a web of lies and betrayal to expose a diabolical killer-before she receives her own termination notice.

Person
Andy Phillips was born in Oldham, England. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics and a BSc Joint Honours Maths/Physics degree. In a varied career, he has worked as a scientific researcher in the USA, a police intelligence analyst, a data analyst, and a higher education teacher. From a very young age, he became fascinated with strong female characters - whether good, evil, or somewhere in between - that appeared in action, science fiction, and thriller movies. His favourite era is 1990s direct-to-video, back when VHS tapes and rental stores were still a thing. Determined to tell stories of his own, he wrote five freeware interactive fiction games, and later founded the publishing imprint Action Girl Books. His novels deliver fast-paced tales of action, suspense, and danger, including multi-faceted plots, high-intensity scenes, and cinematic storytelling. He thrives on creating strong heroines and complex villainesses, often pitted against each other. Drawing inspiration from books, TV, and film, he hopes to inspire others to be creative, too.
