2000s: Book 13 in the Detective Geraldine Steel series
When a homeless man is found strangled to death, Detective Sergeant Geraldine Steel is caught off guard by the cold-blooded nature of the crime. A second murder suggests the existence of a killer whose motive is as elusive as he is dangerous.
In an investigation plagued by police scepticism, only Geraldine is relentless in her pursuit of the truth. As she is forced down unexpected avenues into the lives of three people caught in a toxic triangle of love and deceit, she discovers there is more to this case than any of them could have imagined.
The city of York is one again the stomping ground of Geraldine Steel and her team. Newly demoted, she is on the case of a killer of two homeless men and we go around the city to its back lanes and narrow alleyways to find them. The homeless situation in the city is highlighted and the various work of the charities who look after them.
York is an old and gothic city, full of narrow, twisty streets so exudes mystery and danger even in present day crime fiction!
