Could a cold case hold the key to a brutal murder?

Spring 1930.

In the quiet streets of Craynebrook, a sinister presence lurks in the shadows, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting women of the suburban London town.

After every attack, the assailant disappears into the night, leaving behind no trace, no witnesses, and no clues for Detective Inspector Matthew Stannard to follow.

Until one attack turns deadly and a reporter suggests a connection with an unsolved local murder, opening up a new avenue of investigation which, Matthew hopes, will give him the lead he so desperately needs.

But with a long list of suspects and a dearth of tangible evidence, Matthew's confidence in his ability to find the killer wavers.

Does the truth lie buried in the past? Or will digging into an old murder put other women at risk?

Book 2 in the DI Matthew Stannard historical murder mystery series.
