Les Bryant, a retired detective, has just informed the cold case team of
DCI Hannah Scarlett, and DC Maggie Eyre of the disappearance of a
fifteen year old girl, who has a connection to a murder-suicide that had
occurred 20 years ago. She is the second girl to go missing recently.
The other girl also had an indirect connection to the original
murder-suicide
Scarlett remembers that her former mentor, Ben Kind, had felt that the
case was not a true murder-suicide. Why would a man kill the daughter
he adored? As Scarlett works her investigation into the cold case, she
comes up with information that a bald person was seen running from the
scene. Could it have been a woman?
Evidence unearthed about the original case leads Scarlett and Bryant to
find information about the current case of the missing girl.
Unfortunately a woman they want to speak to has also disappeared. It
is an offhand remark by Scarlett's boyfriend, historian Daniel Kind,
that leads her and Bryant to what turns out to be a shocking conclusion.
Author Martin Edwards has written a real page turner. The tension mounts with each page read. Definitely hard to put down.
