When Chief Superintendent Jack Spike's head was discovered impaled
on the iron railings in front of the Tower of London a ripple of horror 
swept across England.  This ripple grew to tsunami proportions when it 
was leaked out that a note had been stapled to his tongue, written by his
own hand and in his own blood, pleading that Bill Watson and Jennie 
Holmes be assigned to the investigation into his murder.

Detective Inspector Bill Watson had retired from Scotland Yard after 
being shot and wounded during the Xmas Murders' case where 
identical twins calling themselves the Scalpel Sisters tortured and 
killed members of the English Establishment..  His assistant, Detective 
Sergeant Jennie Holmes, resigned from the force and left for the USA 
with her lover, Professor Tony Bush, to get married and settle down 
on his university campus.  The Scalpel Sisters were shot and suffered
multiple injuries by the henchmen of the Russian oligarch, Biteya 
Gonadsoffski.  He was arrested and deported to the USA to face charges 
relating to drug crimes, funding terrorist organizations and murder.

When a new outbreak of serial killings seem to be the work of a copycat 
killer but this time aimed at an erratic, global pool of victims, Bill Watson 
and Jennie Holmes are persuaded to assist with the investigation.

A/N This is the follow-up to the Xmas Murders.

A thousand year old secret leads to murder. Alex Forbes is a brilliant student that goes to his father's boardingschool: St. Barnabas College. He's cheeky, popular and incredibly charming on his own way. He lives a rather bored life, being forced by his dad to study hard for his future, and had to live with the fact he'll never have a caring mother or a real home. As soon as a new boy arrives at the school, everything changes for Alex. The new student called Nigel Colbie is strange, and by some kind of reasons it seems like he's always there - wherever Alex goes. He seems to be obsessed by history and fairytales about Templars, eternity, power and death, and forces Alex to join him with that. When Nigel keeps messing with Alex his head, he slowly loses himself - getting frustrated and confused by feelings and thought he never expected himself to have. This guy had something, something rather interesting but also dark and weird... Whatever he tries, he can't escape from the guy that intertwines himself with Alex his mind - being forced by it and driven to madness until the very end. Overwhelmed by sexualfrustrations, confusion, and the sake of many friends. "Have you ever had that feeling that there was someone inside your head, listening to your thoughts? Your darkest secrets floating out there like radio waves, just waiting to be picked up on. There was something about this guy." A huge English fanfiction about the brilliant British film Like Minds with an own twist.
