But it takes more than one death to keep working girls off the streets.

She soon finds that is dangerous for any woman to get too close to a killer who has nothing to lose.
- Kurztext
- A body found near Edinburgh's red-light district sends a cop into a seamy underworld in this ';fast-paced' crime thriller. (Scots Magazine). On a freezing midwinter night in Leith, a policewoman's flashlight stabs the darkness in a snow-covered cemetery. The circle of light stops on a colorless, dead face. So begins the hunt for a serial murderer of prostitutes requiring Alice Rice to plunge into a hidden world where sex is bartered for money and drugs. At the same time, Alice's off-duty life continues its uneven course, as her romance with artist Ian Melville offers the prospect of happiness but is plagued by insecurity, and Alice's demented but determined neighbor, Miss Spinnell, offers a new challenge to Alice's patience at every turn. This atmospheric thriller is part of the acclaimed police procedural series featuring ';a strong female detective on the Scottish crime scene' (The Bookbag).
