A young woman is strangled and dumped in a lake. Her lifeless body is trapped beneath the icy surface, her face tinged with blue, her green eyes bulging and her long blonde hair billowing in the undercurrent as her body slowly drifts away.
Strange markings are found on her body: a shallow cut made by a Stanley knife from hairline to navel.
Then another young woman is found in a river just outside town. She was strangled before being dumped in the river and her body is marked in the same way.
A third victim with the same MO. Now Chief Inspector Jim Ashworth knows he has a serial killer on his hands and it's a race against time to stop him.
Discover a complex mystery, which will have you turning the pages until the stunning conclusion.
Perfect for fans of Peter May, Peter James, James Oswald, Alex Gray, Roger Silverwood, Roy Lewis or Helen H. Durrant.

MEET THE DETECTIVES
Chief Inspector Jim Ashworth is a 30-year veteran policeman with a fierce pride in his job. His position has been questioned by his boss, who insists that CID must be modernised. Despite his slightly hostile brown eyes and harsh exterior, he is a loyal and kind soul.
Detective Sergeant Holly Bedford is in her twenties. Holly is a rising star and a force to be reckoned with, as shown by her recent promotion to Detective Sergeant. Although Ashworth doesn’t agree with having women in CID he quickly finds himself warming to Holly.
THE SETTING
Bridgetown is a typical East Midlands town: its nucleus made up of thatched cottages, stone terraces and council properties surrounded by modern estates of detached homes. The busy high street is always bustling with shoppers, particularly on market day when the roads are lined with stalls of all shapes and sizes. The River Thane runs through the small town and is spanned by an impressive stone bridge with seven arches – a historical landmark from which the town derived its name.
