Dark Heart - 'Could you live with the heart of a killer?'

Fraser Grant is a psychopath...

He’s been stalking the women of Sydney, Australia, for ten years, taking one victim per year, torturing her, before taking her life and sending pictures to her husband and the press.

He preys on women who are cheating on their husbands, he sees it as his duty to teach them a lesson. The Adultery Killer, the press have dubbed him. But now he’s dead.

Picture
Has someone decided to teach him a lesson of their own? Or was he simply in the wrong place at the wrong time?

It’s up to Detective Charlie Cooper and his new partner, Joey Quinn, to find out. They must solve the crime the rest of the Homicide Squad cares little about – who killed the serial killer?


It’s never that simple, though, is it? Grant’s last victim is still missing, and there might be time to save her. Cooper and Quinn need to get inside the mind of the killer if they’re to have any chance of keeping her alive. They enlist the help of Doctor Max Christie, Forensic Psychologist, to help point them in the right direction.

Meanwhile, the final victim’s husband, Andrew, has no faith in the police to find his wife before she dies. A journalist who’s been on the wrong side of Cooper too many times, Andrew sets out to do the job himself. He soon finds help from an unlikely source.

Eva Matthews has just received a new heart – the killer’s heart. She may be fragile after undergoing life-saving surgery, but Andrew doesn’t have time to be gentle. He finds Eva, tells her where her heart came from, and begs for her help.

Cellular memory is the idea that a transplanted organ can retain memories from its donor. Although there’s no scientific proof of the phenomenon, anecdotal evidence is strong. This is all well and good if your donor was a regular person whose accidental death, while tragic, saves lives. But what if your donor was a serial killer? What if he’d just been murdered? And what if his last victim was still out there somewhere, waiting for him to return?

Andrew and Eva form an unlikely duo as they work together to try and understand the nightmares Eva’s been having since the transplant. Is she seeing Amanda in her dreams? Are they the heart’s memories? Will they be able to interpret the visions and save Amanda’s life? And will Eva be able to cope with the fact that she has the heart of a killer, or will she become his true last victim?

Dark Heart is the story of a psychopath who’s been terrorising a city for ten years. Even in death, he’s found a way to keep people on their toes. The detectives looking for his last victim, the victim’s distraught husband, the victim’s lover, the recipient of the killer’s heart, her friends and family – all are still being impacted by the most dangerous psychopath Sydney has seen for years. The serial killer may be dead, but he’s not done yet.
