About this title

Book Description:

A Chief Inspector Charlie Woodend British police procedural

From the Inside Flap:

She didn't ask why she was being murdered - she had seen her killer's face and that was enough.

When the strangled body of teenager Diane Thorburn is found buried in the salt store in a village in Cheshire, Chief Inspector Woodend is drafted in from London to investigate. An outspoken Northerner, he does his policing in the old-fashioned way: local knowledge and a healthy pinch of intuition. And he is convinced that Margie Poole, daughter of the local pub landlady, and Diane's best friend, knows more about Diane's last movements than she is prepared to tell.

Then Woodend's inquiry turns up the death of another young girl a generation before. The similarities in the two cases begin to look more sinister than mere coincidence.

Is there a serial killer on the loose, and if so, where and at whom will he strike next?
