A brutal rape has occurred in Denmark and Detective Louise Rick has been
assigned the case. The victim is unsure of what her attacker looked
like, and finally admits that she had met the perpetrator online and
that this had been their first meeting and date.
Unable to get
any clues on the perp because he had wiped his profile from the dating
site, the police are frustrated. Lieutenant Suhr, Rick's senior officer
wants Rick to put herself on the dating site in the hopes of trapping
the culprit.
A second rape victim is found while Rick is away for
the weekend, only this time the victim has died. While attending the
autopsy, Rick fears that the victim is her friend Camilla when the sheet
covering the victim is removed from her face and hair similar to
Camilla's is revealed. Rick knew that Camilla had a date this weekend
with a new online friend. Fortunately for Camilla it is not her.
The
investigation runs into difficulty when they go through the victims'
computers looking for the culprit's emails. He used different ISPs for
his contacts. Fortunately they do manage to glimpse his profile on a
CCTV film with the second victim. They hope to catch him at an online
dating event, and although Rick sees him the police are unable to
apprehend him. Can she find him online and rouse his interest?
Author Sara Blaedel has written a thrilling conclusion to this mystery novel.
