Introducing Alice Quentin, a London psychologist with family
baggage, who finds herself at the center of a grisly series of
murders
Alice Quentin is a psychologist with some painful family
secrets, but she has a good job, a good-looking boyfriend, and
excellent coping skills, even when that job includes evaluating a
convicted killer who's about to be released from prison. One of the
highlights of her day is going for a nice, long run around her
beloved London--it's impossible to fret or feel guilty about your
mother or brother when you're concentrating on your
breathing--until she stumbles upon a dead body at a former
graveyard for prostitutes, Crossbones Yard.
The dead woman's wounds are alarmingly similar to the signature
style of Ray and Marie Benson, who tortured and killed thirteen
women before they were caught and sent to jail. Five of their
victims were never found. That was six years ago, and the last
thing Alice wants to do is to enter the sordid world of the Bensons
or anyone like them. But when the police ask for her help in
building a psychological profile of the new murderer, she finds
that the killer--and the danger to her and the people she cares
about--may already be closer than she ever imagined.
With gripping suspense and a terrific new heroine, Kate Rhodes's
"Crossbones Yard "introduces a powerful new voice in crime
fiction.
