The hole they dug was not deep. A white flour bag encased the little body. Three small faces watched from the window, eyes black with terror. The child in the middle spoke without turning his head. 'I wonder which one of us will be next?' When a woman's body is discovered in a cathedral, followed by a young man found hanging from a tree, Detective Lottie Parker is called to investigate. Both victims share a distinctive tattoo on their legs, indicating a connection. The trail leads Lottie to St Angela's, a former children's home linked to her own family history, making the case personal. As she ties the current victims to decades-old unsolved murders, two teenage boys go missing. Lottie must close in on the killer before they strike again, risking her own children's safety. She is set to confront a twisted soul with a warped sense of justice. Fans of Tess Gerritsen and Karin Slaughter will be captivated by this gripping serial killer thriller. Praise for the novel includes descriptors like "gripping," "riveting," and "unputdownable," with readers enthralled from the opening paragraph and unable to resist reading late into the night. This debut is hailed as a phenomenal addition to crime fiction, showcasing a compelling new voice.
