Women's Fiction
Introducing Alice Quentin, a London psychologist with family
baggage, who finds herself at the center of a grisly series
of murders Alice Quentin is a psychologist with some painful
family secrets, but she has a good job, a good-looking
boyfriend, and excellent coping skills, even when that job
includes evaluating a convicted killer who's about to be
released from prison. One of the highlights of her day is
going for a nice, long run around her beloved London-it's
impossible to fret or feel guilty about your mother or
brother when you're concentrating on your breathing-until
she stumbles upon a dead body at a former graveyard for
prostitutes, Crossbones Yard. The dead woman's wounds are
alarmingly similar to the signature style of Ray and Marie
Benson, who tortured and killed thirteen women before they
were caught and sent to jail. Five of their victims were
never found. That was six years ago, and the last thing
Alice wants to do is to enter the sordid world of the
Bensons or anyone like them. But when the police ask for her
help in building a psychological profile of the new
murderer, she finds that the killer-and the danger to her
and the people she cares about-may already be closer than
she ever imagined. With gripping suspense and a terrific new
heroine, Kate Rhodes's Crossbones Yard introduces a powerful
new voice in crime fiction.
