Tick Tock

Stoke is shaken when a teenage schoolgirl is killed in broad daylight and her body is left in a field beside her school. Two days on, a young mother vanishes and is later found strangled in a local park. Detective Sergeant Grace Allendale and her colleagues take on the investigation, but the killer has left them almost nothing: no leads, and no link between the victims. The case only starts to make sense once a third woman is singled out, revealing a disturbing pattern and a mind behind the attacks. Grace must work out the killer's logic before another young woman is lost.
