Either the doll strangler's back, or there's a copycat killer on the loose....
Singmass Close has a sinister past. Reputedly haunted by ghosts of children, in the '50s it was the hunting ground of the Doll Strangler, a ruthless killer who was never brought to justice. When the strangled body of teenager Natalie Parkes is found in the same close, a mutilated doll lying by her side, DI Joe Plantagenet wonders whether a copycat killer is at work.
With the recent disappearance of a local model and an escaped convict at large, this new, horrific murder stretches Joe's team to its limit. But as the bodies start mounting up and Joe's questioning brings him closer to the real strangler, he comes to suspect a shockingly creepy connection between all three cases...
The second book in an exciting and spooky new series featuring DI Joe Plantagenet.
