DS Alice Rice in her work comes across an old school friend, who used to
work as a prostitute. Now she no longer does that, but is an advocate
for women's and especially prostitute's rights. Later that night the
body of a woman is found. A murder investigation is now underway. Is
the death somehow connected to Rice's friend's organisation?
While examining the contents of the pockets of the deceased, Rice is
stabbed by a small hypodermic needle. She fears the worst.
Unfortunately another prostitute is found murdered, in much the same
circumstances as the first. DNA is found on each of the bodies and it
points to one man; a priest in a nearby parish. He denies knowledge of
either woman. Rice harbours doubts that he is their man.
Her doubts come to fruition when another prostitute is attacked.
Fortunately for her a nearby man scares the attacker off. However,
that scare doesn't prevent another death.
Author Gillian Galbraith provides a surprising twist to conclude this murder mystery. A good, quick read.
