The Calling

The Calling

by Alison Bruce (Author)

Synopsis

The icy rain sprayed across the lake in shards of sharp splinters. Kaye's skin smarted and dribbles of water slid inside her clothes. She was gagged and bound. And the only person who knew where to find her wasn't coming back...

Fifty miles away in Cambridge town centre a deeply disturbed young woman is standing by a payphone. She knows she often feels compelled to do harmful things and is driven by a desire to make a call.

DC Gary Goodhew is one of the detectives assigned to find Kaye and when her body is discovered the only clue to the potential murderer is a woman's voice on his answerphone saying, 'Kaye isn't the first and won't be the last...'

Media Reviews
Alison Bruce has already demonstarted her credentials in the field of crime with two striking non-fiction titles, Cambridgeshire Murders and Billington, Victorian Executioner. Her research has paid off, although this is a very modern piece of work with both a strong police protagonist and a dangerous, disturbing criminal. * Good Book Guide *
