Why was Kate Sumner killed and her daughter, a witness, allowed to live More curiously, why had Kate willingly boarded a boat when she had a terror of drowning at sea Police suspicion centres on a young actor, a loner with an obsession for pornography who lies about his relationship with Kate, and whose sailing boat is moored just yards away from where the toddler is found. As the investigation proceeds, attention shifts inexorably towards the murdered woman's husband. Was he really in Liverpool the night she died And is Kate the 'respectable woman' he claims her to be And why does their daughter scream every time he tries to pick her up With her first five novels, Minette Walters has established herself as one of the most exciting crime fiction writers today.
