Synopses & Reviews
The first Inspector Luke Thanet.
Young Julie Holmes was so soft, so gentle and feminine, that only men would imagine conquest as inevitable and see resistance only as a challenge. Three men wanted Julie. A famous BBC broadcaster, her pompous new boss, and her adoring husband. But who wanted her bad enough to kill her?
Now Julie is dead in the front hall of her own home, cut to the heart right through her tweed overcoat just minutes before her husband returns from an evening class and opens the door upon carnage...or so he says. Did he have time to wield the knife before calling for help?
Sturrenden's Inspector Luke Thanet investigates this puzzling murder which leads him to a foggy November evening twenty years ago, when three-year-old Julie may have witnessed a dreadful crime. Had her haunted past returned to give her more than the occasional nightmare? The confident policeman learns a few things about himself as well as Julie as he investigates the night she died....
