"Detective Manon Bradshaw is 39, single, and miserable as sin. She has endured some of the worst dates in Internet history. But she loves her job and performs it brilliantly. All she needs to rise up in the ranks is a big break, [and she may have found it in] Edith Hind ... a gorgeous, intrepid graduate student at Cambridge University who seems to have it all: a doting boyfriend, a devoted friend named Helena, a loving mother, and a father who is a surgeon to the Royal Family. When Edith turns up missing from her apartment one evening, leaving only a single streak of blood along the front foyer wall, the case becomes a national media sensation"-- Provided by publisher.
