Publisher's Summary

Rookie detective Anna Travis has been assigned to her first murder case - a series of killings that has shocked even the most hardened on the force. Over the past eight years there have been six victims - all women from similar backgrounds, all killed in an identical way. Then a seventh body is found, but this one doesn't fit the pattern.

Anna is determined to earn the respect of her male colleagues, and find justice for the victims, but when a vital piece of information links a high-profile suspect to the killings she is faced with a difficult choice. As a figure in the public eye, his arrest would cause a media frenzy. But if he is innocent, Anna's hard-fought-for reputation would be destroyed once and for all.

A good read

I enjoyed the surprising twists in the plot and the dialogue was very descriptive. The narrator nailed the accents of the various characters beautifully

Excellent, thoroughly detailed information

An excellent novel, meticulously researched, incredible detail. I'm hooked on this author, and this is an old novel. Can't wait for more current ones.

Outstanding storyteller and talented narrator

La Plante is an excellent writer: complex plots, believable dialogue, and well researched. Coupled with the talented narration of this series makes it a fabulous book to listen to.

Clever plots

I had forgotten how good a spinner of suspenseful tales Lynda La Plante is... Though I'm sure I have read all her books and wayched many on the screen, I was surprised how little I had retained and I really enjoyed it.
Well narrated too. A great experience!
