Book description
Another thrilling case featuring D. I. Geraldine Steel.
When
the corpse of Abigail Kirby is discovered, police are shocked to learn
that the victim's tongue was cut out while she lay dying. Shortly
after coming forward, a witness is blinded and murdered. Detective
Inspector Geraldine Steel's flirtation with the pathologist on the
case helps her to cope with the distress of finding out she was
adopted at birth. Abigail Kirby's teenage daughter runs away from home
to meet a girl who befriended her online. Too late, she realises she
has made a dreadful mistake -- a mistake that may cost her life.
