Slim Chance — Peter Helton

Two women from Bath disappear within weeks of each other -- one is subsequently found dead, while the second is discovered barely alive by Chris Honeysett, artist and part-time private eye. Held captive at a deserted railway station, the woman was being slowly and deliberately starved by a murderer the police dub ‘Dr Atkins.' And now it seems the would-be killer wants his revenge on Chris for having spoiled his fun.
