Merciless Heleyne Hammersley

Two murders. One missing girl.

DI Kate Fletcher is called out to a freezing canal where a woman's body is found floating in a lock. With no identification, the police struggle to piece together the details of the woman's life.

In Thorpe a daughter confesses to the murder of her father. She says she helped him escape a painful death from liver cancer, but was her role more active than she claims?

As Kate and her team investigate, the links between the two cases are inescapable and everything seems to lead back to the disappearance of a teenager years earlier.

Then the main suspect vanishes....

Can Kate connect the events of past and present to bring the culprit to justice?
