Cut Up

Her new sales territory comes with a shiny company car. It also puts her dangerously close to a serial killer.

With her daughter off to university, Los Angeles pharmaceutical representative Lilian Fawlker has room in her life for something new. Selling a promising drug to plastic surgeons should be an excellent start. So should getting to know a particularly attractive doctor.

Then women begin turning up dead, their bodies bearing the marks of someone with a very particular idea of beauty. Lilian's professional contacts offer a way into the case, and a chance to put her favourite whodunit game with her scientist friend Fahad to practical use.

With her extravagant best friend Heidi consulting her spirit guides, and Detective Andrew Macintyre far too interested in what Lilian knows, keeping work and pleasure separate becomes the least of her problems.

Someone is turning surgical skill into murder. If Lilian follows the wrong lead, her curiosity could cost her far more than a commission.
