Description
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 *
