Smile of Death — Cyril Malka

Detective David Alix faces once again a serial killer, as bodies turn up in bags. Each corpse wears what's known as the "Glasgow smile," a freakish ear-to-ear grimace resulting from small cuts made at the corner of the mouth before the victim was tortured.

One after one, the bodies are found. Tortured, killed... and then something strange. Weird items are found on the bodies:

An iron crown, spiked upon a skull.

A piece of chalk where the heart was supposed to be.

Alix can't decipher the meaning of these symbolic objects. He puts them on his whiteboard to study them further. What do they mean?

As more bodies show up, the number of symbols grows.

Then suddenly, a breakthrough. And a long list of future victims.

Can Alix and his team figure out the hidden meaning of the symbols, and find the killer, before he brutally exterminates every person on his list?
