Synopsis

Jude Shelley, daughter of a prominent cabinet minister, had her whole life ahead of her until she was attacked and left to drown in the Thames. Miraculously, she survived. A year later, her family ask psychologist Alice Quentin to re-examine the case.

But then an elderly priest is attacked in Battersea, his body washed up at Westminster Pier. An ancient glass bead is tied to his wrist.

The river has always demanded sacrifices, and now it seems a killer believes it's calling out for more.

Alice is certain that Jude and her family are hiding something, but unless she can persuade them to share what they know, more victims will drown...

The plot has more twists and turns than the path of the legendary river and flows along just as swiftly. We couldn't put it down! (Best Magazine)

Praise for Kate Rhodes (.)

Great twists, turns and surprises (Sun)

Alice is a vividly realised protagonist whose complex and harrowing history rivals the central crime storyline (Sophie Hannah Daily Express)

A pacy psychological thriller that makes good use of its London setting (Laura Wilson Guardian)

A fast-moving, entertaining mix of sex, suspense and serial killings (Washington Post)

Quentin is one of a cast of really believable and entertaining characters and both the plot and the writing keep one thoroughly engaged throughout (Daily Mail)

Like Nicci French, Kate Rhodes excels at character, pace and sense of place (Erin Kelly, author of The Poison Tree)

Book Description:

Getting inside the mind of a killer isn't for the faint of heart... a cold case and a series of drownings present Alice Quentin with a terrifying mystery, in a novel perfect for fans of Nicci French.
