Headline: “Margie Orford has nailed it…wonderfully crafted and fully engrossing.” - Michael ConnellyWalvis Bay is a depressed and isolated port on the edge of the Namib Desert. Corrupt and claustrophobic, its shifting population is made of transients and vagabonds-people with no future and no past. When it seems a methodical serial killer may be working undetected in this pit of darkness and desperation, police profiler Dr. Clare Hart is brought in to investigate. With her personal life in shambles, Clare is initially happy for the distraction, until it becomes clear that her own life - and the lives of others - are at stake.This enthralling procedural is perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs.
