Product Description:
It was a small town. Sleepy, remote, safe . . . and unprepared when a deadly visitor comes calling.
Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef of Port Dundas is making her way towards retirement with something less than grace. Hobbled by a bad back and a dependence on painkillers, and blindsided by her recent divorce, sixty-one-year-old Hazel has only the constructive criticism of her old goat of a mother to buoy her up. But when a Port Dundas woman is found murdered in her home – with no sign of resistance and her mouth sculpted into a strangely meaningful shape – Hazel’s bickering department springs to life. And as more bodies are found, she must confront a clamouring press and the town’s rumour mill whilst she edges ever closer to this terrifying, gruesomely inventive serial killer.
