The Copycat by Jake Woodhouse
__________ HE THOUGHT HE CAUGHT THE KILLER, BUT THEN THE KILLING DIDN'T STOP Jaap Rykel is on the brink, his dark past driving him to breaking point and ending his police career. Visiting the station one last time, he stumbles across an investigation into a violent murder. A murder where the details exactly match a case he solved years earlier. But that killer was caught - and is still in prison. Is there a copycat killer on the loose, playing games with Rykel's fragile mind? Or did he get it wrong, and send an innocent man to prison? This might be his last chance to make things right, or it could be the blow that finally takes him over the edge . . . _________ 'Twisting, stylish and breathlessly paced.
