Summary

Three severed hands. No clues. A race against time. Three embalmed hands are discovered in a disused Victorian house. Is it a gangland ritual? The work of a cult? Or just a prank played by Medical Students? And what happened to the bodies? Meanwhile the Coroner needs to issue a Presumption of Death certificate on a teenage girl who vanished eleven years ago in mysterious circumstances. As hints emerge the two cases are connected, DI Ridpath pushes himself to the limit to find out what really happened. It soon emerges the house is a former children's home. When another woman, a local social worker, disappears, he is under immense pressure to find answers. What really happened at Daisy House Children's Home all those years ago? He has just one week to discover the truth… The latest in the #1 bestselling DI Ridpath crime thriller series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Peter James.

Enthralling from the start

Love the way Ridpath starts with a small case that grows as the story develops. I just wish that his boss Paul would get his come uppance the guy is ghastly , he needs to be exposed for the way he is with Ridpath and tries to trip him up and undermines him all the time !

Slow to start

A book that built up the tension to a very strong finale.

I am guessing this will have a follow up book.

Good story well told try not miss it.

A very welcome change from drug lords,millionaires and secret services. I enjoyed this story so much that I played it in two days. The narration was first class and suited the story perfectly. I don't usually read fiction any more but this book has made me download a couple more of MJ Lees works.
