Once she had been beautiful; now she was eight days dead, her body slashed repeatedly. At first, she's just Jane Doe of Notting Hill, then DS Stella Mooney finds a suspect. But while he is in custody, another body is discovered, butchered in the same way.

Media Reviews
Another DS Stella Mooney blockbuster from David Lawrence, this time centring on the death of beautiful model Janis Parker. With her boyfriend and female flatmate missing from the scene, suspicions initially fall on them but the investigation soon uncovers more horrific dimensions to the killing. And when more bodies are found it is apparent a serial killer is on the loose. Mooney, battling her own personal troubles as well as those of being a female officer in a highly masculine force, soon discovers that there are actually two killers involved with one, judging by the bloody handprints left behind, being a woman... Set in well-to-do Nottinghill and in the seedy council estates surrounding it, this is a race against time to catch the killers. Lawrence cleverly flits between the investigation, the killers and Mooney's private life, drawing them all together in a final climactic end. Moody, evocative, chilling and horrific, this is a must for everyone who loved The Dead Sit Round in a Ring , with Lawrence revealing his talent for suspense and tension once again. - Lucy Watson
