When a young girl’s body is discovered in a church in west London, the first indications are that it is suicide. But Detective Inspector Mark Tartaglia suspects she has been murdered and that it is not the first time the killer has struck.
Elena Forbes has created a set of characters and a world that is as convincing as it is gripping. Mark Tartaglia has the charisma and complexity of a Wexford, and his world, centred in West London, is as vivid as Rebus’ Edinburgh.
