Why are dead bodies appearing when no one has been reported missing…?

Detective Inspector Jemima Huxley is put in charge of the case.
But Jemima has dark secrets of her own…
Can Jemima lay her personal demons to rest? Or will the case threaten to overwhelm her?
And can she catch the killer before more women turn up dead…?
