Publisher's Synopsis
When Dr Clive Jordan's dazzling career is brought to an abrupt end by a fatal bullet, his colleagues are devastated, especially the female ones. If the doctor hadn't been as discreet as an undertaker's cough, Detective Inspector Charlie Priest would suspect a jealous husband, but it's not that simple. Charlie also has another case to solve - Janet Saunders' description makes her attacker easy to find, but his story doesn't quite gel with hers. Charlie knows there's a killer, and almost certainly a rapist, on the loose - but he's a lot tougher and smarter than his affable manner indicates, and that's bad news for the villains...
