[wyvernfriend]

The newspapers call him the cremator, he kills women in violent ways and then burns the bodies, it has been getting marginal press because he has been killing prostitutes up to this but the third victim, that they know of, is the daughter of a powerful man and things start to get messy for the investigators. They also have a witness who is unreliable and dealing with her own demons. Advocate Kate Conlan is trying to deal with all this and the investigation, but the killer seems to have a strange interest in her.
It's an interesting read with characters that really came to life for me and I'm curious where things will go from here with the series.
