β¦ Synopsis
Retail
Twelve years ago, rookie cop Joanna Mason was nearly killed by serial killer Sam Gazade. Now, just as Gazade is about to be executed for his crimes, a copycat emerges, replicating each grizzly murder in excruciating detail.
Now a thirtysomething police veteran, Mason has a reputation for making brilliant, instinctive deductions during investigations. However, her skills have been dulled by the cocktail of drugs she's taking as part of her chemotherapy program. Stricken by cancer, Mason must make a choice: either she continues with her treatment and lets her mind become fuzzy, or she stops taking the drugs and tries to track down the copycat killer before more people die.
Meanwhile, Sam Gazade sits in a prison cell, awaiting his execution. His long-lost diary seems to have resurfaced, providing a perfect playbook for the copycat. Will Mason risk a visit to see Gazade after so many years? Does an emotionally unstable student have a deadly secret? And is the copycat killer out to honor Gazade... or to disprove his misogynistic views about women's ability to kill?
The Dead and the Dying is a dark psychological thriller about a detective whose life is crumbling around her, and who has to make a choice about how she wants to live and die. Contains violence, swearing and sexual references. Total word count is approximately 100,000. Look out for the second Joanna Mason novel, coming in 2014.
