Emilia Walters was, in the words of her mother, ‘Just a normal girl, living a normal life’. So how did she wind up dead in the Regent’s Canal with a pair of tights wrapped tightly around her neck?
Early enquiries reveal that Emilia had been involved in a workplace dispute on the day she died, while her phone records indicate she had lied to her boyfriend, Tristan, about having arrived home safely that night when, in fact, she was still out.
DCI Lawrence Forrester and DS Rebecca Palmer soon discover that Emilia’s murder might not be the first suspicious death connected to Tristan’s family. After his father vanished without a trace a decade ago, his mother and elder brother were arrested and questioned over the disappearance. No charges were ever brought, however – and the man’s whereabouts remain unknown.
Then another woman is attacked, turning the case on its head.
