DS Lottie Parker and her DS, Mark Boyd have been called to the scene of a suicide. However, Parker feels that something is off about this suicide. The young woman is dressed in a new wedding dress. Several hours later they are called to another scene where a young woman has apparently also committed suicide by throwing herself off a building. She too, is in a wedding dress. Her wedding was to have been the following day. This is the third suicide in the area in a very short time.
Parker is convinced that both deaths are suspicious. When they speak to the fiancé of the second woman, they learn that she had an eight year old daughter. Contacting the place she would normally be at, they find that the girl is missing. Two suspicious deaths and a missing child! What is going on?
The following morning Parker is informed that the missing girl is the daughter of a lawyer who used to work as defence council for gangs in Dublin. Could that be a factor in her disappearance? Parker quickly gets her team to work on all three cases. She is under pressure from Acting Superintendent McMahon.
Pathologist Jane Dore is able to find a connection between the two deaths, plus possibly the third suicide. If so, they have a serial killer on their hands! Can they get him before he kills again?
Author Patricia Gibney has many trials and tribulations ahead for Parker and her team. This thriller is a real page turner, and hard to put down. There are a few real surprises for the reader in the concluding pages. Enjoy!
