Julia Strange was the woman who was killed, and it was Adrian Wall who had been in close contact with the Strange family and ‘running’ Robert Strange, a confidential informer. It was Elizabeth who found the body. And it was Elizabeth who had befriended the son, Gideon, over the past years, while his father fell apart at the seams and took to drink.
Within twenty-four hours of Adrian Wall’s release history repeats itself and the past ran again in the present. Another body, carefully on display, laid to rest on a church altar. Same in every way as the death of Julia Strange.
Whoever had taken and killed this latest victim is intent on making a statement. Everyone is on Adrian’s case. Again. He is the easy focus of police attention.
