DI Lottie Parker has just walked into the station when she hears a
teenager enter behind her. The girl, who is covered in blood says, “I
think I killed him.” and then collapses. The doctor in emergency tells
Parker that the girl had recently given birth.
Not long after this, Lottie’s son, Sean and a friend, discover the body
of a baby in the canal while fishing. Later in the day, a group of kids
discover the body of a boy near a clubhouse. When the boy is
identified, realisation sets in that he was from the same estate as the
girl who had given birth, but had now escaped from the hospital.
The following morning another body is discovered. It’s another young
boy in similar circumstances to the previous victim. Autopsies on the
boys show that they had been abused. Did the abuser kill them?
Author Patricia Gibney’s fifth book in this series is fast paced and an
attention grabber. She presents plenty of suspects with a surprising
conclusion. This thriller is hard to put down and is a thoroughly
enjoyable read.
