Hanging Hill

The body of Lorne Woods has been found along the towpath on the outskirts of Bath.  DI Zoe Benedict and DI Ben Parris are leading the investigation.  Zoe doesn't agree with the presentation made by forensic psychologist, Debbie Harry, however, Ben does to an extent.  They start the investigation along different lines as a result.

Meanwhile, Zoe's niece Millie has gotten herself into debt with a local drug pusher.  Her mother, Sally is also experiencing financial woes.  Although Zoe and Sally have not seen each other for some time, this cause will bring them back together.

Zoe develops ideas which are completely divergent from the rest of the team about the evidence gathered from Lorne's crime scene.  She wonders if Lorne's death might be associated with a local producer of porn, however he seems to have disappeared.  Zoe finds herself tied up with a larger investigation as she probes deeper into the disappearance of the porn producer.  It seems that her hands are tied.

Can Zoe solve the crime before the killer strikes again?  Author Mo Hayder maintains the fast pace of this murder mystery right through to the surprising conclusion.  This is a book that you will not want to put down.  An intensely good read.
