First Lines Fridays: 2nd August 2024

I've decided to participate in First Lines Fridays as I think it's a great way to highlight more of the books that are on my bookshelves.
What is First Lines Fridays?
First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!
The first lines of the book:
Harper surveyed the corpse with a bitter expression and one-word summary - 'Bastard.'Fran had known her fellow detective sergeant just long enough to know she didn't like him all that much and generally agreed with him even less, but in this instance he'd pretty much nailed it.

And the book is...
Julian Sinclair is a serial killer.
Charming, manipulative, deadly. He hunted girls for sport, and it's high time justice was served.
But when Sinclair's conviction is thrown out in court, DC Joseph Stark and DS Fran Millhaven are forced to protect the man they're sure is guilty from those who would rather see him pay in blood.
Then another girl dies.
And Sinclair can't have killed her from his hospital bed . . .
Is a killer lurking in someone they never suspected?
And have they had the wrong man all along?
