Book description
The naked body of a young woman is found hanging from a tree on a
London roadside. Scrawled across her back, the words DIRTY GIRL.
Detective Sergeant Stella Mooney and the AMIP 5 squad are faced with a
murder as baffling as it is chilling. With no means to identify the
victim and no apparent motive, the case is blocked, until...
A man is found on a bench by the river, his throat cut back to the
vertebrae. And, as before, the killer has left a trademark comment:
FILTHY COWARD. Stella and her team can see there's a connection: but
what? One victim is a young girl - maybe one of the hookers who work
the Strip; the other a researcher for a prominent and controversial
MP. More evidence is needed. And soon enough, it comes: another death;
another message...
