What you need to know before your trail

DC Lacey Flint interviews a witness who is reluctant to talk to her and after coming out of her building stumbles onto a woman brutally stabbed in the car park.

The investigation kicks up a pace when a news reporter receives a letter suggesting that the murder may be a copy cat of the first Jack the Ripper Murder. Chillingly it also mentions Lacey…

If the letter is true, the it would seem that Lacey and the police have only five days to get to the truth before the next victim is killed.

Lacey doesn’t know what to make of the letters taunting her specifically. As she looks into the case more, she has unpleasant flashbacks to things she’d rather forget. But she’s going to have to bring everything from the deepest recesses of her mind if she is going to stop this killer in his tracks.

Camden

Then there is Camden – a nice place for a market or the scene of someone of the scariest and probably dangerous catacombs in London –

“Camden Town has long been one of the trendiest place in North London and especially so since the development of the Camden Stables market. Once an extensive network of tunnels, arches viaducts and passageways….”
