DISCOVER ONE OF THE UK'S FAVOURITE CRIME WRITERS WITH OVER 1.5
MILLION COPIES SOLD. She opened her mouth to scream, but he slapped
something across her lips. The gag tasted of salt and mould, rough
sacking on her tongue. With a terrifying certainty, she knew she
was going to die. DI Geraldine Steel knows people go missing all
the time; sometimes because they don't want to be found. So when
her partner Ian asks her to look into the disappearance of his
football-buddy's girlfriend, her first instinct is to reassure him
there's no need for concern. Until she's called to a suspected
murder, and all her instincts tell her she's right about the
identity of the victim. The young woman has earth and leaf mould
and fragments of twigs in her long fair hair, her nose, her mouth,
under her finger nails, clinging to her clothes. It's as if she'd
been completely encased in earth. And yet she was found on the
pavement, at the side of a suburban road, where she wasn't in
contact with any soil or mud. Had she managed to escape a living
grave? Without a crime scene, the investigation focuses on her
boyfriend. But Ian insists his friend is incapable of murder, and
Steel is torn. Without evidence, she knows their case is weak. But
without evidence, can she let a possible killer go free? She needs
to find out what really happened. Where did the assault occur? Why
are there traces of DNA from two other unidentified sources on the
body? What reason could there be to attack a popular young woman
who never did anyone any harm? And why bury her body so carelessly
that she was able to escape? Then another young woman is reported
missing. Unless he has an accomplice, they have an innocent man in
custody. And Steel is running out of time . . . A page-turning
puzzle of a case with an unexpected final twist. If you're a fan of
Angela Marsons, Mel Sherratt and Karin Slaughter, you'll love Leigh
Russell. Can be read as a stand-alone. PRAISE FOR LEIGH RUSSELL'S
