A series of uniquely brutal murders targets victims from totally different walks of life. In a Society divided according to Zodiac signs, those differences are cast at birth and binding for life. All eyes are on Detective Jerome Burton and astrological profiler Lindi Childs - divided in their beliefs over whether the answer is written in the stars but united in their conviction that there is an ingenious serial killer executing a grand plan. Together, they will unravel a dark tale of betrayal, lost love, broken promises and a devastating truth with the power to tear their world apart...
In a society divided along Zodiac lines, status is cast at birth - and binding for life.
When seemingly random murders plague the city, is it a rebellion against the system or the work of a twisted serial killer? Zodiac is an imaginative and gripping thriller from debut author Sam Wilson.
Even for the most experienced detectives, every once in a while a murder can shake them to the core. Like when the Chief of Police is killed in his own home.
For Detective Jerome Burton, catching the killer will change his life forever.
Because this murder is only the first piece of a vast and twisted puzzle made of secrets, lies and tragedy.
The signs are everywhere. But is the truth written in the stars or hiding in the shadows?
