A killer without a conscience… After the success of their first case as a newly formed Profiling Unit, Doctor Alexander Gregory and his eminent friend and mentor, Professor Bill Douglas, draw the attention of senior officials at Europol, who are battling a unique kind of foe. The threat is simple: unless a multi-national supermarket chain pays a hefty ransom, poisoned food and drink will find its way onto the shelves in one of their stores. Nobody wants to play Russian roulette when lives are at stake but, as demands escalate and police seem no closer to finding the terrorist, fear spreads like wildfire in the hallways of power—as well as in the supermarket aisles. When the first victim dies, panic reaches fever pitch across Europe and pressure mounts for the two English profilers to prove themselves, before it's too late… Murder and mystery are peppered with dark humour in this fast-paced thriller set amidst the spectacular landscape of Northern Europe.
