Midnight Jones is trained to understand the human mind. But everything changes when, in the course of her work, she discovers Profile K’s file because K stands for killer, and she knows that someone more dangerous than she ever imagined walks among them.
Midnight knows that Profile K is capable of before he even commits his first crime. But as the news rolls with the brutal murder of a local woman, no one believes what she tells them that he is capable of so much worse.
Profile K will kill again and, terrifyingly, Midnight realises that the moment she found his file was the moment she became his next target. Because Profile K is coming for Midnight and the only way to escape with her life is to find him before he finds her.
MY REVIEW
Profile K by Helen Fields, is just like watching a scary movie, where you see the frightening beginning, that makes your stomach turn over, then with the flashback of how it all began. Profile K, definitely needs to be turned into one of those scary films. What would you do if you discovered a killer? Would you run? Would you hide? Or would you try to stop them? You’ve seen inside the mind of a killer. You know what he is capable of. But you don’t know who he is. Now he’s trying to hunt you down. And that’s exactly what happens.
Here’s part of a frightening small chapter.
The fist smashed into Chloe’s mouth and seemed to stay there as her uninvited guest walked forward into her apartment, pulling away only when he kicked the door shut. Chloe’s hand went to her mouth and came away grainy with spiky shards of teeth, and the pain from that hadn’t even begun to register when her attacker grabbed her arm and pulled her forward so she landed on her knees, and, Jesus, she was seeing flashing lights and hearing blood pulsing through her head….
A former criminal and family law barrister, Helen Fields has the expertise and experience to make the characters and plots scorch with authenticity.
With a background as both a prosecutor and defence counsel, Helen Fields has a depth of knowledge about crime that lends a fierceness to her writing. From Courts Martials to care proceedings, the Coroner Courts to the Crown Court, Fields draws on her professional years for the extraordinary colour and texture that makes her writing jump off the page.
Sunday Times Best Seller, Million copy and twice long-listed for the McIllvanney Scottish Crime Book of the Year author whose books have been translated across the globe, Fields consistently produces high impact, compelling novels that readers love.
The ‘Perfect’ series, set in Edinburgh, introduced the world to DI Luc Callanach. This year saw the release of Degrees of Guilt, her first psychological thriller in the name HS Chandler, a book as shockingly realistic as it is darkly entertaining.
Helens’ latest character creation is Dr Connie Woolwine, an American forensic psychologist and profiler, based on a real FBI Agent who consulted on the first book. You can find Connie in The Shadow Man, One For Sorrow and The Institution.
