No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
One by one the girls disappeared... When the frail body of a teenage girl is discovered strangled in a parking lot, shards of ice form in Detective Natalie Ward's veins.
As Natalie looks at the freckles scattered on her cheeks and the pale pink lips tinged with blue, she remembers that this innocent girl is somebody's daughter...
The girl is identified as missing teenager Amelia Saunders, who has run away from home and her controlling father. Natalie's heart sinks further when it becomes clear that Amelia has been working on the streets, manipulated by her violent new boyfriend Tommy. A day later, another vulnerable girl is found strangled on a park bench.
Like Amelia, Katie Bray was a runaway with connections to Tommy, and Natalie is determined to find him and track down the monster attacking these scared and lonely girls.
But when a wealthy young woman is found murdered the next morning, the word 'guilty' scrawled on her forehead, Natalie realises that the case is more complex than she first thought. Determined to establish a connection between her three victims, Natalie wastes no time in chasing down the evidence, tracing everyone who crossed their paths.
Then, a key suspect's body turns up in the canal, a mole in Natalie's department leaks vital information and everything seems to be against her. Can Natalie stop this clever and manipulative killer before they strike again?
