From an author hailed by the New York Times as 'the master of suspense' comes an electrifying thriller shot through with dark humour -- about a female forensic photographer on the trail of a brutal killer with ties to her past. When Alexandra Rafferty was a girl, something unspeakably cruel happened to her on a summer afternoon. Only her father knew about it -- or so she thought. Now a forensic photographer for the Miami PD, Alexandra remains haunted by that horrible day, and it colours all of her relationships. Stan, her loutish husband, drives a security van and has his own mindbending agenda. Her not-altogether-there father is more and more dependent and less and less dependable.
