"Twelve hours after a woman's broken body is washed up on a deserted shore, her traumatized three-year-old daughter is discovered twenty miles away wandering the streets of Poole...
But why was Kate killed and her daughter, a witness, allowed to live? And why weren't they together? More curiously, why had Kate willingly boarded a boat when she had a terror of drowning at sea?
Police suspicion centers on both a young actor, whose sailing boat is moored just yards from where the toddler is found, and the murdered woman's husband. Was he really in Liverpool the night she died? And why does their daughter scream in terror every time he tries to pick her up...?" (Introduction taken from the back of the book)

Sent by post to FilmCricket, thanks for trading with The Parsifal Mosaic (Robert Ludlum)!

I traded "The Parsifal Mosaic" for this book. Thanks, Buchsuch!

Good mystery, where I could not tell who did it till nearly the end. Really kept me guessing.

Reserved for DameEdna, to be passed off to her in Prague in 2 weeks.

Caught from FilmCricket while in Praha!

This is why I love Walters - the dark atmosphere, fully-drawn characters, and the constant suspense.

Sending along to another reader.
