British detective Fran Harman must contend with a serial killer, unearthed skeletons, and a missing woman in this compelling mystery.
When a child goes missing at the local tennis club on the same day as several skeletons are unearthed on a building site, Det. Chief Superintendent Fran Harman finds her caseload heavier than usual. It couldn’t come at a worse time, now that the police force is cripplingly short-staffed and Fran has a less than supportive new chief constable to contend with.
Fran’s fiancé Mark Turner was enjoying a game of tennis with his fellow Golden Oldies when the girl disappeared. Now, he can’t stop blaming himself for not keeping a closer eye on her. Sucked into the kind of desperate police search he thought he’d left behind when he retired, Mark enlists the help of the Oldies to find young Livvie before it’s too late.
Then a further shocking discovery in the skeleton case suggests that a serial killer may be lurking about, and Fran will have to serve up some top-notch police work in order to see that justice is done.
