Elisabeth Kennedy's life is falling apart. She has lost her job as a detective, she is disfigured from a brutal acid attack, and she remains haunted by the murder of her sister years ago. She takes up residence in a belfry apartment, high atop a crumbling London church tower, cloistered from the evils of the world.
But as more and more people around her die, Elisabeth realizes her sister's killer is still out there, and to find him, she will have to come out of hiding.
Fans of Louise Penny and Patricia Highsmith will love this moody psychological thriller.

Elisabeth Kennedy is a complicated, prickly ex-police detective, haunted by the memory of her younger sister's murder, and recovering from a senseless, brutal attack that leaves her with physical scars and a fractured spirit. Determined to fight back, Elisabeth flees the safe confines of her mother's seaside home to return to her life in an apartment atop a crumbling London bell tower.

As she tracks her quarry, Elisabeth is headed for something far more chilling than loneliness, more savage than self doubt....
