When DI Vera Stanhope finds the body of a woman in the sauna room of her local gym, she wonders briefly if, for once, it's a death from natural causes. But closer inspection reveals ligature marks around the victim's throat ...Doing what she does best, Vera pulls her team together and sets them interviewing staff and those connected to the victim, while she and colleague Sergeant Joe Ashworth work to find a motive. While Joe struggles to reconcile his home life with the demands of the job, Vera revels being back in charge of an investigation.
Death has never made her feel so alive. And when they discover that the victim had worked in social services and was involved in a shocking case involving a young child it seems the two are somehow connected. But things are rarely as they seem ...
Ann Cleeves (Gran Bretaña, 1954) empezó a escribir cuando ella y su marido, de profesión guardabosques, se instalaron en una región en la que había poco más que hacer que observar a los pájaros. Su serie policíaca protagonizada por Vera Stanhope pronto se volvió muy popular y, además de adaptarse a la televisión, le ha valido muchos premios y se ha publicado en más de veinte países.
