In this dazzling addition to Deborah
Crombie's acclaimed mystery series, a disappearance, a
murder, and a child in danger lead Scotland Yard detectives
Gemma James and Duncan Kincaid into London's legendary East
End—a neighborhood where the rich and the poor, the
ambitious and the dangerous, collide—to solve one of the
most challenging and disturbing cases they've ever faced. .
. .
Necessary as Blood
Once the haunt of Jack the Ripper, London's East End is
a vibrant mix of history and the avant-garde, a place where
elegant Georgian town houses exist side by side with
colorful street markets and the hippest clubs. But here
races and cultures still clash, and the trendy galleries and
glamorous nightlife of Whitechapel disguise a violent and
seedy underside, where unthinkable crimes bring terror to
the innocent.
On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in
mid May, a young mother, Sandra Gilles, leaves her daughter
with a friend at the Columbia Road Flower Market and
disappears. Shortly thereafter, her husband, a Pakistani
lawyer, is killed. Scotland Yard detective Gemma James
happens upon the scene in time to witness the investigator
making a mistake.
When Duncan and his trusted
sergeant, Doug Cullen, see Gemma's name in the report, they
decide to take the case. Working together again, Gemma,
Duncan, Doug, and Melody Talbot must solve it before the
murderer can get his hands on the real prize, Naz and
Sandra's daughter.
But just as the case grows more
dangerous, a personal issue threatens to throw Gemma and
Duncan off the trail. In the end, it is up to them to stop a
vicious killer and protect the child whose fate hangs in the
balance.
