A glamorous young TV soap star dies in a car crash...
Returning for her sixth case, Detective Inspector Geraldine Steel
...When Rose sees Joe in an Oxford bar, for her it is instant infatuation. He is everything she could ever want: a gifted pianist, witty & a high achiever. In her mind, at least, they are ideally matched & a burning desire for him takes hold. She knows she will never love anyone else. Fate, however, has other plans & Joe has no intention of settling down. All Rose will ever be to him is part of the student crowd. Instead, he embarks on a dazzling career, leaving Rose with shattered dreams. But when Joe falls for her sister Lily, fantasy turns into gruesome fact. Two people die & a child is born. Murder is no big deal, after all. Rose has killed before & will do so again - & again - until she achieves her ultimate goal.
