There is a serial killer on the loose preying on vulnerable women. The only identifiable mark the killer leaves are letters - sometimes one, sometimes two - all carved into the torsos of his victims. Together, they spell “Sydney”. When he grabs Daisy Dawson, he believes he has found his next victim. But despite her small stature, she fights back with an expertise that quickly frees her. Before fleeing the scene, Daisy also manages to grab what proves to be crucial evidence: a necklace from around the killer’s neck.

Interesting until the finish
This author kept me interested all the way through. There is another book with the herione available, and I will certainly be purchasing it. If you like Patricia Cornwell, espeially her earlier books, this book is in that style. A good listen.
