Publisher's Synopsis
Who's at the door? Best not answer with a killer at large in the neighbourhood. When a spate of murders takes place in the quiet riverfront community of Notting Hamlet in south-central England, Rex Graves is called upon to lend his investigatory expertise. So far, four residents have perished in their homes, apparently at the hands of a sadistic serial killer. The only obvious link among the victims is that they all had their homes up for sale. The local constabulary have detained a shady house agent, but letters written in blood on the bodies tip the Scottish barrister off to an altogether different kind of killer. For the first time in his sleuthing career, Rex finds he is not up against a lone operator and has good reason to fear for his life.
