"On a snowy February morning, London art dealer Rachel Tenison goes for a jog through a dark and deserted Holland Park, Still giddy from the previous evening's adventures, her legs; wobbly from too much drink and too little sleep, she trips and falls at the bottom of an icy hill. Lying on her back, enjoying the sensation of snowflakes melting on her skin, she savors the unexpected stillness of the moment. And then - the sharp crack of a tree branch close behind her, followed by a voice, softly calling her name." "Two days later, Rachel's naked, frozen body is discovered kneeling in an overgrown section of the park, her wrists and ankles bound with duct tape, her head touching the ground as if in prayer." Still haunted by the Bridegroom - a chillingly seductive killer who insinuated his way into their personal lives - detectives Mark Tartaglia and Sam Donovan must put the past behind them as they work to uncover the identity of Rachel's murderer. They soon find, however, that as much mystery surrounds the young woman's life as attends her death. And when a tip from a journalist draws their attention to similarities between Rachel's death and an unsolved murder committed the year before the web becomes more tangled than ever.
