A serial killer is roaming the streets of London, and Daniel Pitt's university chum Ian, now a member of the police, is leading the search. He turns to Miriam Fford Croft, Daniel's good friend and now officially one of the first female pathologists in London, to find details he and Daniel have missed. As the murders continue with no clue as to who is committing them, Miriam and Daniel find themselves questioning everything. Is the "Rainy-day Slasher," as the newspapers have deemed the killer, really just one person? Or have they stumbled into a more complicated web of deceit? The answer may lie closer than anyone expected.-- Back cover.
