Three seemingly separate cases quickly become entangled, and DI Joe Plantagenet must sort them out before more lives are lost.

Singmass Close has a sinister past, reputedly haunted by the ghosts of children. In the 1950s it was the hunting ground of the Doll Strangler, a ruthless killer who was never brought to justice. Now DI Joe Plantagenet wonders whether a copycat killer is at work when the strangled body of teenager Natalie Parkes is found with a mutilated doll lying by her side. With the recent disappearance of a young female model and an escaped convict at large, this new, horrific murder stretches Joe's team to their limit. But as the bodies start mounting up and Joe's questioning brings him closer to the real strangler, he comes to suspect a shocking connection between all three cases.

Industry Reviews

"Atmospheric . . . a compelling thriller perhaps best enjoyed during daylight." "Booklist""
"Ellis rates right up there with Peter Turnbull and Sally Spencer. For fans of British procedurals." "Library Journal""
"Ellis keeps a steady hand on the tiller in DI Plantagenet's second outing, setting forth her tightly controlled plot in a way that's both cozy and creepy." "Kirkus Reviews""
