The murdered body of a girl, found in the boot of a wrecked car, is DCI Thane's starting point. At first, the killing seems the work of a sadistic prowler, but a dangerous trail of evidence leads to other possibilities, ranging from the rally-driver boss of a whisky investment firm to an elderly, iron-willed woman - and even to a young novice cop who claims to have found the girl's body accidentally. Following the truth leads to a terrifying car race through a mountainside forest - a race Thane and Moss have to win, because if they lose, the killer will strike again...Praise for Bill Knox: 'The expertise is interesting, the invention good and the writing literate and lively' - "The Sunday Times". 'His plotting is impeccable...and he can build his books to a relentless climax' - "New York Times Book Review". 'Always a thoroughly reliable, good read' - "The Times".
