Publisher's Synopsis
Detective Sergeant Luke Ellington nicknamed Duke, has gained fame and acclaim for his heroism in the capture and conviction of vicious serial murderer, Clarence Campbell.
He is subsequently assigned to find Elise Seymour, the missing daughter of politician David Seymour. Senior Constable Sarah Brogden is appointed his 'side kick'.
Their investigation takes them to the ethereal bedroom of the missing girl. Here they find evidence suggesting that Elise had adopted a dual personality and was suffering from a mental disorder.
Ellington becomes obsessed with the case and visits the girl's fairy-tale bedroom again and again. He feels certain the answer lies here.
The investigation takes a dramatic turn when two of Ellington's 'suspects' are brutally murdered in separate incidences.
Ellington is forced to put the case on hold when his old adversary Clarence Campbell escapes from custody. Remembering the explicit death threats Campbell made during his trial, Ellington fears for his safety. A terrifying climax is reached when the two finally come face to face.
And now a third person is receiving written death threats. But this time the victim becomes the victor.
A hospital bedside confession reveals the identity of the killer, along with the whereabouts of Elise.
