A transatlantic serial killer thriller with a twist of Biblical proportions. Christmas in London: a period of joy and togetherness. Not for Metropolitan Police Commander Austin Grant, though. Three dead bodies have turned up on his patch, and the only thing they have in common is a number carved into their foreheads. With the victims including a professor of ancient mythology, a sculptor of curious idols, and lead vocalist of The Blasphemers. It seems the killer is meting out their own version of Biblical justice, punishing those who transgress the Ten Commandments. With seven commandments left, Grant puts the Met's best detectives on the case. But soon enough, a fourth victim turns up. In New York City. It appears Grant has a transatlantic manhunt on his hands. Can he stop this terrifying zealot before they strike again? Reviews for The Last Commandment: 'Gory but gripping.' Daily Mail 'An enthralling mystery.' Karin Slaughter 'A gem of a thriller, not to be missed.' Michael Koryta 'A real corker.' Booklist 'A riveting and wondrously satisfying thriller.' May Cobb 'Ingeniously constructed and breathlessly told... Scott Shepherd at his gripping best.' Charles Ardai

Joe Way loved his father. He admired, respected, and emulated him. And if the adulterous bastard hadn't dropped dead on the first tee, Joe just might have murdered him. The son of Cleveland's mayor and an all-American coverboy, Joseph Way Jr. is following his father's footsteps into public service. A hotshot assistant D.A., he's blessed with his father's knee-buckling charm and the love of a whiplash blonde from a respected family. For Joe Way, life can't get any better. So, it's about to get a whole lot worse. It starts when Joe finds out upstanding Joseph Sr. has been cheating on Joe's mother for some twenty-five years...and continues the next morning at the country club when Joseph swings his Big Bertha driver right into a haymaker heart attack. Complicating already complicated matters is the brutal death of an alluring young Hispanic girl from the wrong side of town, a girl who may have gotten mixed up with Joseph, his Democratic rival, and the political warfare between them. The very next night, Joseph himself shows up, rummaging for leftovers in Joe's refrigerator and telling his son "dying is hungry business." Joseph needs his son's forgiveness to find eternal peace, but Joe isn't quite convinced he deserves it. Just when Joe's head can't spin any faster, enter the political Juliet to his Romeo, stunning liberal mestiza Mara Pinkett. She quickly becomes his nemesis, his confidante, and his greatest temptation. In just five short days before he's expected to deliver a eulogy for his iconic father, Joe Way must solve the mysteries of a brutal murder, his father's secret life...and his own heart.
