DCI Kate Daniels and DS Hank Gormley have been called out to the beach
just below Bamburgh Castle where a skeleton has been uncovered in the
sand. Arriving, they conclude from the clothes that this is a recent
death. As the body was aboyto be removed, another body is discovered
alongside it. The anthropologist on the scene confirms that the bodies
are those of young girls, she also states that the girls were not the
same age, and they did not die at the same time.
Daniels assembled her murder investigation team in Alnwick and begins
the process. A plastic set of pearls on one of the victims gives
Daniels an idea. It is her father that provides some information. A
local historian helps to put them on the right track. But will it be
what they need to get the killer?
Fortunately they are able to persuade Jo Soulsby to work up a profile on
the killer. A breakthrough occurs when they get a DNA match on the
older victim.
At the same time, the daughter of Emily McCann, a friend of boy Kate and
Jo has gone missing. Emily is very concerned because she works in a
prison with sex offenders, one of whom has an obsession with her.
Coincidentally her disappearance is part of a five year pattern in line
with the two victims. As the investigation team works, they come up
with four possible suspects.
Author Mari Hannah throws up a plethora of suspects as this thriller
nears its conclusion. Which one will it be? A thoroughly enjoyable
read, and hard to put down.
