Kurzbeschreibung: Her shoes pinched as she shivered in the cold night air. She just wanted to get home. A taxi slowed to a halt next to her, and as she buckled her seat belt, she noticed the child s seat next to her and felt safe. But when she saw his eyes in the mirror, a shiver of terror shook her to her core.
When a young woman s body is found on a patch of wet grass in the early hours of the morning, Detective Lottie Parker mourns the young life so brutally snatched away. Looking at the victim s flimsy strappy top, damp from the dew and soaked with blood, it is clear that this young girl never came home from a night out. Lottie s heart breaks as she thinks of the girl s parents finding their daughter s empty bed and she vows to catch the murderer.
The young woman is soon identified as Laura Nolan, and Lottie watches the blood drain from her mother Diana s face when she tells her the terrible news. Diana reveals that Laura was on a date the night she was killed, but she doesn t know who with. and Laura s empty bedroom with make-up scattered across her dressing table offers no clues.
Lottie and her team rush to trace Laura s last moments. But hope at a potential breakthrough turns to horror for Lottie when another young woman, Shannon Kenny is reported missing, last seen climbing into a taxi with a broken light, close to the same bar.
But then, Lottie discovers a connection between Laura and Shannon that totally overturns everything she thought she knew. The killer didn t stalk these two young women at random. He knew exactly who they were and where they would be. But can Lottie stop him before he strikes again?
