Detective Sergeant Kelly Ross is charged with discovering who dumped a mutilated body in the woods opposite the golf course. Along with her detective constable – Jordan Sparrow – she finds herself drawn into a mystery with so many unknows and so many false leads that it's impossible to sort the facts from the fiction. It's particularly unhelpful when her own senior officers seem intent on making the enquiry more difficult.

When another mutilated body turns up, it leads to Kelly and Jordan reopening a large-scale murder enquiry which had been finalised eight years previously. The man responsible for the killings was still in jail and wasn't pleading his innocence. Yet Kelly discovers absolute evidence that it couldn't have been him. Unfortunately, in prison, he claims to be transgender, dresses in baby's nappies and insists on being spoon fed baby food.

Jordan discovers that, in addition to the 'Facelifter' murders, young women are disappearing from all over the county. Could the two things be linked? You'll only know by reading 'Facelifter'.
