She was someone's daughter...

In 1930, the killing of a Soho prostitute is hardly a priority for Scotland Yard. But when a second, similar murder comes to light, and then a third, everything changes. Cuthbert and his team find themselves in a nightmarish world of people-trafficking, prostitution and drug use amongst the upper classes.

Using all his forensic skills, Cuthbert sets out to solve one of the most baffling cases of his career. One final question remains unanswered until a faded photograph reveals its tragic secret.

'Deeply immersive, it is beautifully plotted and written... The twists and turns are exquisite and the false summits the author leads his readers over are artfully done' -- Ken Lussey * Undiscovered Scotland *
