On a grey October morning, the strangled body of a teenager is
found in the North Yorkshire city of Eborby, a mutilated doll lying
by her side. Singmass Close, where the girl is found, has a
famously sinister past. Reputedly haunted by the ghosts of
children, it was the hunting ground of the Doll Strangler, a
ruthless killer of the 1950s who was never brought to justice. With
the recent disappearance of another young female and an escaped
convict at large, this horrific murder stretches Detective
Inspector Joe Plantagenet's team to the limit. Is a copycat killer
on the loose, or could the Doll Strangler really be back? As the
bodies start mounting up and Joe's questioning brings him closer to
the real strangler, he comes to suspect a shockingly creepy
connection between all three cases . . . Praise for Kate Ellis . .
