Det Stella Mooney
Once she had been beautiful. Now she was eight days dead, her body slashed with more than fifty cuts.

Janis Parker - young, successful and glamorous - had shared her modern Notting Hill apartment with flatmate Stephanie James. But now Janis is dead - and Stephanie has disappeared.

Heading up the investigation, Detective Stella Mooney soon has her first suspect, in the shape of Mark Ross - Stephanie's boyfriend and Janis's secret lover . . .

But then another body is discovered - slashed fifty times.

Clearly these are no domestic killings. It seems Stella and her team are looking for that most dangerous of creatures: a killer who hunts to feed a terrible appetite.

But the truth is they are up against something even show more more terrifying. . . show less
Wel heel spannende detective over een team rechercheurs, met Stella aan het hoofd. Stella heeft een vriend en een minnaar en vindt het erg moeilijk om te kiezen. Er worden jonge vrouwen geheel verminkt, lang gemarteld met een mes gevonden. Het oplossen duurt best lang omdat er weinig aanknopingspunten zijn. De daders zijn een man en een vrouw. De vrouw is door haar moeder regelmatig met een mes bewerkt als kind, zo gaat dat dóór. De man is een afgewezen volger. Uiteindelijk wordt bekend dat hij de dader is en dat bekoopt hij ook met de dood.
