DCI Erika Foster is at a supper get-together with her pathologist friend
Isaac Strong when she receives a message about a suspicious death.
Together they set off to begin the investigation.
Initially it looks like a straight forward gay-bashing. However, as the
scene of crime officers point out, it appears to have been meticulously
planned.
Foster’s superior, Detective Chief Superintendent Marsh, warns her off
of one potential suspect because he is being watched for child
pornography. His alibi stands because of his being watched around the
clock. However, when DI Peterson pulls him in Marsh goes off the deep
end and relieves Foster of the case.
Then another killing occurs in much the same manner. This time
forensics has a print of the killer, albeit an ear print. The
pathologist, Isaac Strong informs Foster that a suicide bag was used in
both cases. Other than that, what links the two cases?
DNA from the ear print and the suicide bag point to the killer being a
female. However, Foster’s superiors are unaccepting of the evidence.
In their minds there’s no such thing as a woman serial killer.
Author Robert Bryndza has a few sudden and shocking twists to this
murder mystery thriller. It is fast paced and keeps the reader’s
interest throughout. A thoroughly enjoyable read, and I can’t wait to
get my hands on the sequels.
