Publisher Description
This compelling novel of suspense is an intriguing new departure for much-loved saga writer Rosie Harris.
Maureen Flynn is a woman with a secret. Sixteen years earlier, when she was a schoolgirl, something terrible happened to her. But the perpetrators of the shocking crime went unpunished. Maureen and her family left town, the affair was hushed up, and Maureen carved a new life for herself. Until now.
A bitter rejection revives Maureen’s long-suppressed memories, causing her to embark on a terrible quest for vengeance.
Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Ruth Morgan and her team are baffled by a string of murders that have taken place in their quiet little town. In the past few weeks, four successful men in their mid-thirties have been stabbed to death, their corpses brutally defiled. It’s up to Ruth to find the link between the victims – and hunt down a ruthless killer before it’s too late.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this straightforward psychological thriller from romance author Harris (A Brighter Dawn), painfully shy Maureen Flynn is still struggling, 16 years after the crime, with the memories of having been sexually assaulted by classmates in the small English town of Benbury. Flynn is surprised but pleased to receive a proposal from Philip Harmer, the professor for whom she works as an assistant, but is shattered when Harmer withdraws his marriage offer after learning of her rape. Full of uncontrollable rage, she forms the perfect plan for revenge, and when a Benbury High School teacher is found viciously stabbed to death, the police are, quite literally, clueless. When a newsagent is killed in precisely the same manner, the pressure increases on Det. Insp. Ruth Morgan and her partner, Det. Sgt. Paddy Hardcastle, who sense the two murders are connected. Despite bland characterizations and a strong reliance on coincidence, the story engages throughout.
