Official synopsis Publisher
The unputdownable new novel from the author of Run for Home.
A young woman walks home by herself, the tapping of her high heels the only sound. At two o’clock in the morning, it’s cold, the streets are deserted, and she thinks she’s all alone. Waiting for her, sleeping soundly in his bed, is her baby son. When he wakes up the next morning his mother still isn’t back. She’s never coming back. Because the streets weren’t as deserted as she’d thought.
Three women are dead, and Detective Inspector Lorraine Hunt is searching for a serial killer. In Houghton-le-Spring it’s Feast week, a time when all hell is let loose as the fair comes to town, and a frenzy of celebration and decadence provides a temporary distraction from the grim realities of everyday life. It’s not a good time to be searching for a stranger. It’s not a good time to be a woman alone.
