Goodbye Haldane Hill (DC Holly Towns #4)

Victimology: tall, slim, blond hair, jeans. And a Harvest Festival t-shirt…

Finding the body of a young woman in Haldane Hill Park rings alarm bells for Detective Constable Holly Towns. But can she even say the words ‘serial killer’ and be taken seriously?

The media names him the Port Predator, and he’s not finished. Not even close.

Another young woman is missing, and time is running out.

Officers in the Criminal Investigations Unit are focused on a set of strong suspects, but Holly is drawn in another direction. The risks are high. She’ll be an outcast if she reveals her suspect, but someone could pay the ultimate price if she ignores her instincts.

Haldane Hill also holds a gruesome surprise for a mother and child walking on the beach nearby.

Holly confirms that the pair have stumbled upon skeletal human remains, a bleached skull and a nest of bones deep in a bank overlooking the lake. Should her next call be to the coroner or an archaeologist?

The CIU officers are pulled in multiple directions, and past and present become entangled.

As if that isn’t enough, Holly skirts a scandal within her own department, determined to prove her loyalty, even if she risks her own career.
