Kate O'Donnell has been assigned by her agency to learn how to
photograph models. Meantime her friend, DS Harry Barnard is busy
investigating the death of a young girl outside a jazz club in Soho.
Kate finds out that the assistant to the photographer who is
apprenticing with has been recruiting young girls to be models from
schools. She decides to share this information with Barnard.
Kate gets an offer to work for an opposing modelling firm. She is
hesitant, yet at the same time interested as the offer comes from the
cousin of the photographer she is apprenticing with. Barnard has been
involved in a raid on the jazz club. They are hoping to find a
connection to the murder of the girl.
Kate is attacked on the steps of her flat by the assistant of the
photographer one evening. Her employer tells her to stick it out until
the apprenticeship is done. Barnard, on the other hand, has different
ideas. He decides to turn to his underworld sources for information.
When the body of the photographer's assistant is found with his throat
slashed, DCI Keith Jackson wants answers, now. Was the photographer and
his assistant pimping the girls? There is a lot more going on behind
the scenes than both Kate and Barnard know.
Author Patricia Hall brings a quick climax to this murder mystery. A good, quick read.
