Simon Says

By David Wineman

The secretary to a leading Criminal Defense Barrister is found brutally murdered and her body dumped.

For Detective Inspector Jonny Jackson and his team, this is an apparently motiveless crime. The absence of tangible clues to the identity of the perpetrator as well as any credible suspects causes considerable concern to Jonny who fears for his future on the Force.

Simon is the cause and the motivator behind this crime. He does not commit the crime personally, preferring to manipulate another. He cares nothing for those who are hurt in the process. For Simon this is just a game.

A second murder throws the investigation into chaos and Simon's game continues to escalate as again and again evidence conflicts.

Jonny and his team struggle to identify the man responsible, but perhaps you can see what they have missed.
