Play Dead - by Angela Marsons (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The dead don't tell secrets... unless you listen.

When Detective Kim Stone and her team are sent to Westerley, a forensic research facility, they discover the body of a young woman, her mouth filled with soil. But she doesn't belong there. It seems a killer has discovered the perfect cover for their crime.

Then a second woman is attacked and left for dead, her mouth also crammed with dirt. But when she wakes in hospital, she can't remember what happened...

Kim vows to uncover what links the women. And when she learns they went to the same school, she knows the answers lie buried in the past. But then a third woman goes missing, and she knows time is running out. Can she find the truth before a twisted, damaged mind claims another life?
