When a call comes in about a woman found burned to death in a deserted cottage, Detective Lottie Parker is first on the scene. The victim, abandoned as a child and hidden away at the Sisters of Mercy Convent, has no family to mourn her. Lottie uncovers that the woman had a visitor shortly before her death—a young journalist named Imelda. Could Imelda be connected to the murder? Lottie's investigation leads her to the abandoned convent, where she learns from an old caretaker that Imelda had been there just a day earlier. However, Lottie's day takes a dark turn when she discovers that the caretaker has also been scalded to death, mirroring the victim's fate. With Imelda as the only link between the victims, Lottie races against time to find her. When Imelda's blood-stained jacket is found in an abandoned building, Lottie fears the worst. Desperate to save Imelda and identify the killer, Lottie seeks answers from the other women hidden at the convent. But can she uncover the truth before another victim is silenced? This gripping tale promises twists and turns that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
