Kit Quinn, our heroine, is a psychologist dealing with the criminally insane. In the opening chapter we see her evaluating a suspect at a police station. She is attacked and injured... Some months later she gets drawn into a murder case that has her attacker, again, as the main suspect. Reluctantly she gets involved. Kit refuses to believe the obvious solution and finds other suspects and links to other murders. The police do not believe her conclusions and everybody begins to think that she can't deal with the stress so shortly after her injury. But she insists and finds not only proof, but also danger...
Set in London, in the world of street kids, the people that want to help them and others that prey on them... Good story, suspenseful, I never guessed the solution until the end (but then I never do) -I just felt that French wrapped up the ending a bit to quickly. It was a bit like "Oh, that's the killer!" and, oops, we're done... But still, I will get more books written by her. Nice change after the usual thriller fare that I have read recently.
