A baby has been dropped off at the police station and D. I. Kim Stone has no idea what to do, and social services aren’t available to come. DS Bryant is the only person she can turn to. Bryant called in reinforcements in the form of DS Kevin Dawson and DC Stacey Wood. They all wanted to see Stone with a baby.
However, just as Bryant was about to change its nappy, Stone received a call about a body. It is a young woman, a sex worker.
The following day there are three women at the station claiming the child is theirs. By the time Dawson and Wood return to the station there is a fourth woman claiming the child as hers. It doesn’t take long for them to eliminate each of the women as not the mother.
Stone requests two officers to help the team with their two investigations. DS Austin Penn is seconded to the team. Stone is surprised when a note with just a name on it is slipped through her mail slot. She learns that the name belongs to a sixteen year old girl, who apparently committed suicide and had been on the game. Is there a connection to the recent victim?
How many more young women are going to die, or can Stone’s team stop the killer. Author Angela Marsons thriller is fast paced and hard to put down. The conclusion is not just inevitable, but also surprising. An excellent read.
