She's barely out of the station when her cab encounters a wagon carrying the remains of a young woman recently dead." "At her new home, Lizzie learns that her predecessor, Madeleine Hexham, disappeared without a word of warning. Despite rumors of immoral behavior surrounding the girl's departure. Lizzie is soon persuaded that there's a deeper mystery here. Her suspicions are tragically confirmed when Inspector Benjamin Ross delivers shocking tidings." "Lizzie is determined to unravel the truth about the lost Miss Hexham. As, too, is Ben Ross: a man who cares about justice, whatever the class of victim. But they must tread carefully, as a cornered killer is the most dangerous of all."--BOOK JACKET.Granger, Ann is the author of 'Companion ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780312363376 and ISBN 0312363370.
