Somewhere in West London a black woman dies in a rain-soaked gutter. Her passing would have gone unmourned but for the young woman who finds her and who believes that Annie was murdered, for the police record the death as a simple RTA. Genre: Crime fiction -- Mystery -- Thriller -- Crime novel. Review: "Walters's reputation for producing intelligent, absorbing, psychological crime novels grows with every book. This, her sixth, is as impressive as the rest. Walters is canny enough not to make her intrepid amateur detective into Snow White. Her heroine has a private, as well as a socially-responsible, agenda that is gradually revealed as the story moves forward. And to give it a cutting-edge, the narrative is interspersed with letters, e-mails, reports and even photographs. Don't miss this - and be prepared for a final, jaw-dropping revelation." --Kirkus UK. 1 Kg.
