Description
The sudden death of Professor Peter Bradshaw and his wife was ruled accidental... But in light of the forensic pathologist's damning testimony in the Rapunzel murder cases - in which five prostitutes were strangled, long hair wrapped around their necks in a noose - Detective Chief Inspector Tom Maybridge decided to gently remind Bradshaw's teenage son that his father did have enemies...
Nobody had paid attention to the convicted killer's fervent tirades condemning Bradshaw's false testimony on the 'Fifth Rapunzel.' Perhaps it was time to listen.
Was the mutilated, unidentified fifth body the handiwork of the Rapunzel killer? Or had somebody copied his style? Had Bradshaw deliberately deceived the jury? A dangerous web of duplicity, secrets and illicit love enfolds as Maybridge suspects a murderer is still free...and waiting to kill again.
