It looks as though Chief Inspector Bill Slider has a serial killer on his patch: 'the Park Killer', as the media so innovatively labels him, whose victims are attacked in London's public parks. And when Chattie Cornfield is murdered while jogging, the press proclaim the same killer is at work.
But it doesn't take Slider and Atherton long to establish that someone is trying to pass the killing off as part of a pattern: only the pattern doesn't fit - Chattie was murdered with malice aforethought - this one was personal.
Chattie was popular with all who crossed her path, and it is difficult to identify anyone in her life who would harm her, but as their investigation delves deeper into her affairs, Slider and his team turn up some puzzling anomalies, not least the number of men who counted themselves as her lover and the tangled relationship of her family. Yet still none of the possible suspects can be made to fit what evidence the police have, unless of course they have been misreading the evidence . . .
