Killer or saint?

Death is stalking the streets of Newcastle. An anonymous killer is offering the terminally ill a dignified escape. Mercy to some. M**der to others.

DCI Jack Parker is reluctant to take the case because he has a secret of his own - an early-onset dementia diagnosis he's still desperate to conceal. But he can’t ignore the signs; his condition is getting slowly worse.

While politicians debate a contentious new law and the self-styled Angel of Death selects another victim, Jack's world is shaken when the killings are traced to a carers' support group – one his wife, Helen, has been attending in secret.

Yet his deepest fear is also his darkest temptation. Because when his disease becomes unbearable, Jack can't escape one haunting question: could the Angel of Death be the saviour he's been waiting for?
