'Detective Inspector Helen Grace is one of the greatest heroes to come along in years.' Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of The Skin Collector and Solitude Creek

***

A woman wakes. Immediately she knows she's not in the bed she slept in. It's just the beginning of her nightmare.


Across town, a child discovers a woman's body buried beneath the beach. Then another victim is found. Neither friends nor family had even reported either woman missing. How could their killer be getting away with murder?

It's chilling evidence that Detective Inspector Helen Grace is hunting a monster who's not just twisted, but clever and careful.

And as Helen struggles to understand the killer's motivation she realizes that time might be running out for someone still alive. . .

Enjoyed it but wish that the Author would get the correct titles for Fire Brigade Personnel. Police Officers would know that.
