#1 BESTSELLER IN MYSTERY SERIES - NOVEMBER 21-24 2013
A girl lies dead in the snow. Her body carries a chilling message. This is not one killer but two...
The murder of a young runaway has the police mystified. Her death comes only weeks after the discovery of another corpse. Two teenage girls. Both on the run from care homes. Both selling sex to survive. But the forensic evidence just doesn't add up.
Psychological profiler Megan Rhys doesn't trust the information the police are giving her. Is Detective Superintendent Leverton using her in a secret vendetta against one of his own cops?
As the mystery deepens the death toll rises. And someone is getting into her house. Trying to scare her off. Is a member of her own family betraying her?
Reviews:
‘Chilling…will appeal to those who enjoy the forensic procedurals of Kathy Reichs.’ Library Journal.
‘Gritty, streetwise and raw…with an authenticity and detail born of Ashford’s own journalistic experience.’ Denise Hamilton, author of the Eve Diamond crime novels.
‘Patricia Cornwell has patented the persona of the doughty heroine who bucks the system, but Ashford is closer to her personal demons.’ The Guardian (for Strange Blood).
