DI Wesley Peterson is concerned about a missing nineteen year old girl.
However, DCI Gerry Heffernan isn’t as concerned because he knows the
father, an ex-con. Apparently, the father claims, a photographer has
been stalking her. She wants to be a model, so when Peterson and DS
Rachel Tracy visit the place they are surprised to find nothing amiss.
That is until Peterson notices a stain on the man’s duvet. Could it be
blood?
Later, Peterson’s good friend and archeologist, Dr. Neil Watson, who has
been on a dig in Sicily drops by. He provides Peterson with a picture
of the photographer implicated as the stalker. He had been doing some
work in Sicily, but seems to have since disappeared.
The following day, the father of the missing girl is found dead near his
work site. The autopsy shows that he could have been killed by an
arrow. It doesn’t take long for them to come up with a suspect. Now to
bring him in.
As the investigation progresses, a new suspect is added to the list just
after the photographer is arrested. The pair have a connection, but is
either guilty of either crime?
Then, the wife of the man killed is in turn killed nearby where he had
been found. Do they have a serial killer on their hands?
It is going to take some serious investigative work on the part of
Peterson and his team before they can come up with answers. Peterson also has other issues that he is dealing with while the case is ongoing. Author Kate
Ellis’ latest thriller is full of plot twists with a couple of
surprises at the end. A good quick read.
