Book description
In the peaceful cathedral city of Lafferton, a gunman is terrorising
young women. What - if anything - links the attacks? Is the marksman
with a rifle the same person as the killer with a handgun or do the
police have two snipers on their hands?
Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler is in charge of the
case, but he is also struggling to deal with a tragedy at the heart of
his own family. Two forthcoming events - a local fair and the
high-profile cathedral wedding of the Lord Lieutenant's daughter -
only add to the pressure...
