Chief Inspector Alan Banks and Detective
Inspector Annie Cabbot must work together to solve two
chilling crimes.
One morning in March, on the edge of a
cliff overlooking the sea, a woman named Karen Drew is
found in her wheelchair with her throat slit. Back in
Eastvale on that same morning, in a tangle of narrow
alleys behind a market square, the body of Hayley Daniels
is found raped and strangled. Two murders . . .
two towns . . . On loan to a sister precinct,
Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot draws the first case.
Karen Drew seems to have lived a quiet and nearly
invisible life for the past seven years. Try as she
might,
Annie turns up nothing in the woman's past that might
have
prompted someone to wheel her out to the sea and to her
death. Meanwhile, in the Hayley Daniels murder,
Chief Inspector Alan Banks has suspects galore.
Everywhere
she went, the 19-year-old student attracted attention.
Anyone could have followed her on the night she was out
drinking with friends, making sure she never made it back
home. Then a breakthrough spins Annie's case in
a
shocking and surprising new direction, straight toward
Banks. Coincidence? Not in Eastvale. Banks and Annie are
searching for two killers who might strike again at any
moment and with bloody fury.
