Bye Bye Baby by Fiona McIntosh

Bye Bye Baby by Fiona McIntosh   It all began in Brighton. Now it’s February 2003 and there is a serial killer on the loose. Scotland Yard′s brightest talent is chosen to head up the high-profile taskforce: Jack Hawksworth is a DCI who must confront his own past as the body count rises.
