Dr Anya Crichton, pathologist and forensic physician, is back on another chilling case that will stretch her forensic talents to the limit.

This time, Anya is on the trail of a violent serial rapist. Suspicion immediately falls on the deviant Geoffrey Willard, recently released from prison after serving a full term for the brutal rape and murder of a fourteen year old girl.

As Anya delves deeper into a myriad of forensic evidence, she begins to suspect that Willard is innocent. When two of the victims are later stabbed to death, a blood-smeared shirt holds the key to the truth.

Only the killer knows that Anya has made a mistake. One that could prove fatal...

The second forensic thriller starring pathologist Anya Crichton in a series that rivals Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell

Reviews
Kathryn Fox has created a forensic physician who readers of Patricia Cornwell will adore * James Patterson *
Will keep you gripped from start to finish...break-neck plots...fascinating medical and police procedural details . . . What a compelling new talent! * Jeffery Deaver *
Patricia Cornwell's forensic fantasies may have cooled, but Fox's morgue-talk promises to plug the gap with a crime debut that nicely marries the personal life of the sleuth with that of the murder victim * Independent *
MALICIOUS INTENT is the most exciting crime fiction from Australia for a long time... Crichton investigates with enthusiasm mixed with fear. The climax is shocking and chilling. If Fox can do this on her debut novel, the future looks bright * Marcel Berlins, The Times *
Fox is stomach-churningly good * Mail on Sunday *
Meticulously researched and seamlessly plotted, MALICIOUS INTENT marks out Kathryn Fox as a name to watch * Crime Time *
