About the book

A middle-aged dentist, executed in his living room. Against the wall, one word. In blood. Warrant Officer Colin Menck looks at the “clean” scene and he is convinced it is the work of a professional killer.

Who hired him? The primary suspect is the victim’s wife, who is just too unemotional about the murder. But what did he do to deserve such a death?

Less than a week later, Menck is once again standing in front of a wall with six bloody letters. The only connection between the two victims is another unhappy woman, an ex this time.

To complicate matters, Menck and his new young colleague have not really found each other yet. On top of that, there is friction with the new ambitious group leader. And someone from a chapter in his life that he would rather forget.

How many names are on this killer’s list? How many more men are going to write GUILTY in their own blood before being killed?
