When the decomposed body of a young woman is found near railway tracks just outside Bristol one morning, all indications are that she's committed suicide. That's how the police want it too; all neatly squared and tidied away. But DI Jack Caffery is not so sure. He is on the trail of someone predatory, someone who hides in the shadows and can slip into houses unseen. And for the first time in a very long time, he feels scared. Police Diver Flea Marley is working alongside Caffery. With the traumas of her past safely behind her, she's beginning to wonder whether their relationship could go beyond the professional. But then she finds something that changes everything. Not only is it far too close to home for comfort - it's so horrifying that she knows that nothing will ever be the same again. And this time, no one - not even Caffery - can help her.

This was given to me by a friend and I didn't think about reading it for a long time...I'm glad I eventually got around to it!!
Although I haven't read the preceding books in the series, I didn't feel as though I had missed out on much. Obviously with some references to previous cases the two main characters worked on there was some missing back story but, instead of being a negative, this had made me want to read more of Mo Hayder's novels!
Apart from a serious case of ‘I'll protect my idiot brother' syndrome, I thought the characters were well written, I even enjoyed the annoying Ms. Lindermilk! The only character I still feel in the dark about it The Walking Man but I think I can satisfy my curiosity by reading more in this series.
