...
Read by Samantha Bond. It is late at night on a notorious council estate in East London. A van
- garishly painted with a grinning clown's face on the side
- is being driven erratically. When the police pull over the driver to question him, they discover the body of a young woman inside the van. A murder suspect...an arrest...a confession...A case done & dusted? But their suspect claims his victim is not his first, but his third. Two unsolved murders, three confessions. Five years earlier, a 13-year-old girl disappeared in broad daylight on a busy London street. DCS James Langton headed the investigation & left no stone unturned. The fact that the case was not solved has haunted him ever since. The enquiry has opened up again but, unable to lead it due to ill health, Langton brings in DCI Anna Travis to oversee this complex case. Meanwhile the murder team begins the laborious task of verifying the details of the confessions & uncovering the identity of the second victim. & then the suspect changes his story. Do they have a serial killer in custody or a compulsive liar?
