Publisher's Summary:
Her dark skin looks almost grey; the effect of the elements and deaths touch. Her limp body left pressed against a wire fence like trash. I make a silent promise that I will do everything I can to catch the person who did this to her.
Exactly a year ago, Amy, a young detective on Detective Kate Matthews team, was killed when she was sent undercover to catch a serial killer targeting young girls. Kate never forgave herself for letting the killer slip through her fingers.
As the case is reopened and the campaign to find the culprit begins again, Kate is told to stay well away, and for good reason: another girls body has been found.
Kate is determined to connect new evidence to the old to catch this monster before more innocent lives are taken. The trail runs cold when her prime suspect is found dead. But then why is the body count still rising? The answer is more terrible than Kate could possibly have imagined, and the killer so much closer than she thinks.

When the trail grows cold and the killer might never be found...
DI Kate Matthews is driven. She has a serial murderer on the loose and no one believes her. After she's put on suspension, she's the only one still convinced that there are links between the murders in London and in Southhampton. Young women, brutally murdered and left naked, exposed, in public places. Kate has ideas, but is running out of time and people who want to help her. Thank heavens that the brother of one of the dead girls, Finn, is willing to get involved.
This is fast paced, intriguing and a suspenseful police procedural. I missed the first in the series but could easily identify the character of Kate as she is a protagonist very common in the genre. She doesn't play by the rules and is often on the outs with her superiors. She's reckless and pretty much a hot mess, but her intentions are genuine. Kate has good instincts, but in this case, she's thrown for a loop with a surprise twist that some will see coming. I enjoyed it.
