Stranglehold

A young girl is found murdered in a deserted house. She has lain dead for two days, and there are few clues at the scene of the crime to identify her killer. When there is a second murder in the same small community, it becomes obvious that the hunt is for a serial killer, who is certain to kill again. The way the bodies are laid out suggests not only a warped mind -- but someone determined to taunt the police. In the quiet country town of Oldford, a whole community is struck with terror as it waits for the nocturnal killer to strike again. With several suspects, but no motive for the killings, the investigation requires all Superintendent John Lambert insight and expertise. Can he solve the mystery before another innocent girl is murdered? Or will more victims fall prey to the killer’s deadly Stranglehold? ‘Stranglehold’ is a chilling mystery story. It is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.
