DCI Gerry Heffernan and DI Wesley Peterson have been called out to a
scene where a young woman was found partially strangled. Fortunately a
truck driver had come along and interrupted the strangling. However, he
didn’t see the perpetrator.
DC Trish Walton is with the victim at the hospital when she briefly
comes round and says that her attacker was wearing a dog’s head mask.
A few days later another woman is attacked. This time the strangulation
is a success. Her body is left, wrapped in a white sheet. What is
peculiar is that her abdomen has been opened and her organs removed and
neatly set beside the body. Also with the body is a small replica of
Anubis, the Egyptian god of death and embalming.
Peterson’s archeologist friend, Dr. Neil Watson, who is researching a
local castle where the original owner had gathered Egyptian artifacts,
informs Peterson that the son of the original owner had committed four
gruesome murders and then committed suicide. Could someone be copying
his acts?
Author Kate Ellis presents the reader with a plethora of suspects, so
how will Heffernan and Peterson narrow it down to the real one? Read
on! A good quick read.
