July 2012 Book of the Month.
Chilling and unsettling with an intriguing opening chapter we wager will have you hooked. A beautiful but strange red-headed child becomes the centre of a series of nasty crimes stretching back 15 years. It’s a cracker of a book, the 10th featuring the brilliant but highly dysfunctional New York police officer Kathy Mallory, but be warned it’s pretty grisly in places.

Before Lisbeth Salander, there was Kathy Mallory. The little girl appeared in Central Park: red-haired, blue-eyed, smiling, perfect - except for the blood on her shoulder. It fell from the sky, she said, while she was looking for her uncle, who turned into a tree. Poor child, people thought. And then they found the body in the tree. For NYPD detective, Kathy Mallory, there is something about the girl that she understands. Mallory is damaged, they say, but she can tell a kindred spirit. And this one will lead her to a story of extraordinary crimes; murders stretching back fifteen years, blackmail and complicity and a particular cruelty that only someone with Mallory's history could fully recognise. In the next few weeks, Kathy Mallory will deal with them all...in her own way.
