Description
A serial killer is on the loose, and may have a hidden connection to young barrister Daniel Pitt's university days, in this intricately woven mystery from New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry.
A serial killer is roaming the streets of London, and Daniel Pitt's university chum Ian, now a member of the police, is leading the search. The murders come on rainy nights, but Ian knows there must be some connection among the victims beyond the weather. He turns to Miriam fford Croft, Daniel's good friend who's now officially one of the few female pathologists in London, to use her scientific know-how to find details he and Daniel have missed.
With Miriam involved in the murder investigation, Ian passes Daniel the case of Nicholas Wolford, the friends' university professor. Charged with assault after reacting violently to an accusation of plagiarism, Wolford, a proud, boastful man, is loath to admit he was in the wrong. But Daniel must defend him-whether he likes him or not.
As the murders continue with no clue as to who is committing them, Miriam and Daniel find themselves questioning everything. Is the "Rainy Day Slasher," as the newspapers have deemed the killer, really just one person? Or have they stumbled into a more complicated web of deceit? The answer may lie closer than anyone could have expected.
