Praise for Shirley Wells:

"A deft combination of police procedural and psychological thriller."--Kirkus Reviews

"A satisfying cross between a police procedural and a modern, slightly edgy British village mystery, leaving the reader eager for more Max and Jill investigations."--Booklist

A woman's body is found in a quarry, wrapped in a shroud. Five years earlier, four women were killed the same way. But the man whom Jill Kennedy and Max Trentham believed to be guilty is dead--or is he?

Shirley Wells lives in Lancashire, England. She has published thirteen novels, including two previous novels in the Kennedy-Trentham series.
