In the footsteps of Jane Tennison, immortalized by Helen
Mirren in Prime Suspect, comes Anna Travis, a rookie
female detective about to embark on her first murder case.
The murders couldn't be more gruesome. The method of killing
is identical, the backgrounds of the girls very similar --
all are prostitutes. As the book opens, a seventh body is
found, same modus operandi but the victim this time is a
sweet young student. Anna stumbles on a vital piece of
information that links one man to the killings, a
well-known, much-loved actor. His protestation of innocence
is convincing, and Anna might be succumbing to his
flattering attention. What if he is arrested, the media
erupts, and he is the wrong man?
