From the back of the book: She was young, lovely--and quite dead. Her name was Julie Holmes and to the residents of quiet, treelined Gladstone Road where she had lived for only six weeks, she was quite unknown. But someone must have known her just a little...known her well enough to leave her lying by her front door with a kitchen knife stuck in her chest.
For Britian's Inspector Luke Thanet, the portrait of Julie Holmes that emerges is an unsetting one--a woman emotionally troubled, gifted with great beauty but unresponsive to men, including her own husband and a former lover. Why was Julie unable to form close relationships? And who could have wished her dead...a frustrated lover, perhaps? A deadly operator from Thanet's long list of present day suspects? Or someone from Julie's murky past who has nothing at all to lose by killing once again...
