Three grisly murders lead a police detective all the way back to her hometown in search of a connection . . . When two bodies are discovered over a hundred miles apart, the most obvious link appears to be DI Kate Fletcher. But as Kate's team investigates, a more sinister connection develops--one firmly rooted in the past. The discovery of another victim confirms Kate's suspicion that this is a murderer with a clear agenda. All the evidence leads back to Thorpe--Kate's childhood home--and the events of what should have been an idyllic summer more than thirty years ago . . . Praise for the DI Kate Fletcher series: "Packed full of suspense." --By the Letter Book Reviews
