I step out of my hiding place; now comes the thrill. My hand goes
around his neck as I pull him close. He struggles, and his shoes skid
across the walkway. Then I push. The splash resonates around the silent
canal, but he never makes a sound.
There isn't a serial killer stalking the canals of Detective Sergeant
Carrie Flynn's hometown of Manchester. That's what the police tell the
local community, but Carrie knows that just isn't true. Six years, a
dozen victims...Carrie spends every night alone in her flat, going back
over the hundreds of files, looking for the missing clue.
Now, another person has vanished, only this time the police haven't
found a body. Carrie knows all too well what it feels like to have
someone you love disappear without a trace. Her sister has been missing
for 20 years, and Carrie will never stop searching for her.
The victim's relatives are distraught, and Carrie has no answers to give
them. But why does the mother not want to answer questions? Who is the
mysterious girl next door? What secrets are this family hiding?
Then Carrie finally gets a breakthrough; years ago, she caught a glimpse
of the killer and the distinctive tattoo on his arm. When she finds a
picture of this tattoo, she knows she's close at last. Carrie wasn't
there when her sister needed her most, but she will spend the rest of
her life making sure no more twisted souls walk free.
Can she finally solve the case that has cast a long shadow over her
career, and will the demons in her own past help her to catch this
deadly killer?
