The Last Girl’s Cry
Alison Belsham.
Det Lexi Bennett is walking through the quiet Canterbury streets when she hears
screaming. Rushing towards the sound, she finds the body of a teenage girl lying beneath one of the city’s ancient towers. Lexi looks up at the cold grey stone, and vows that she will find answers. Did the girl jump or fall…or pushed?
Olivia’s distraught parents say their daughter was a talented musician with everything to live for Lexi’s nephew, Sam, who knew Olivia, tearfully insists that she would never have taken her own life. But when a note is found, Lexi reluctantly wraps up the case.
Then another teenager is found dead on a desert path beneath a cliff. Lexi is certain there’sa link, especially when she learns that the boy was a musician too. His note uses the same phrases as Olivia’s and when a second person’s footprints are found at the scene, Lexi realises she is on the track of a master manipulator… and ruthless killer.
