Detective Chief Inspector Lorimer, already investigating the murder of a prostitute in a Glasgow subway, suspects a serial killer after learning of a new victim. The second victim, a nurse, succumbs in a private clinic, but also holds the signature red carnation. A third victim clinches the notion and intensifies the focus on police procedural elements. A feisty pathologist, moody superintendent, promising new rookie, and visiting black American detective all add strong appeal, while the psychological suspense is an added bonus. Fans of other Scottish mystery authors like Ian Rankin may enjoy. Strongly recommended for most collecitons. Considered a rising star in British crime fiction, the Glasgow-born Gray is also the author of Never Somewhere Else. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
The body of a prostitute is found at Glasgow's Queen Street Station, her hands, pointing towards her feet, placed as if in prayer, a small flower pressed between the palms. Psychologist Solomon Brightman is called to assist DCI Lorimer in the murder hunt, with the hope that his lateral thinking will shine a light on the case from a different angle. But before any conclusions can be drawn, the body of a nurse is discovered at The Grange, a private clinic. Aside from the careful arrangement of the corpses, there is no obvious connection between the victims; Lorimer and Solomon are still very much in the dark. Then a third body turns up, and it seems increasingly clear that they have a serial killer on their hands.
