Angielski
Victoria Selby always chose her vantage point with absolute precision. Every angle, every detail, engineered to give her the upper hand. To the outside world she appeared unremarkable, but beneath that calm exterior lived a mind that believed it had the right to decide who deserved to stay in this world.
There were no familiar excuses to explain her actions. No tragic past, no defining trauma, no ideology gone wrong. Victoria's motive was far more unsettling; she enjoyed earning someone's trust and then destroying it, convinced it proved her superiority. In her own eyes, she was evolving into the perfect predator.
Inside a cramped police incident room, more than a hundred photographs of her victims covered the walls, connected by a desperate web of theories that led nowhere. DI Atkinson and his exhausted team were struggling to make sense of a pattern that refused to reveal itself. Victoria believed no one could ever catch her.
She was about to discover just how wrong she was.
