The hole they dug was not deep. A white flour bag encased the little body. Three small faces watched from the window, eyes black with terror. The child in the middle spoke without turning his head. 'I wonder which one of us will be next?' When a woman's body is discovered in a cathedral and hours later a young man is found hanging from a tree outside his home, Detective Lottie Parker is called in to lead the investigation. Both bodies have the same distinctive tattoo clumsily inscribed on their legs. It's clear the pair are connected, but how? The trail leads Lottie to St Angela's, a former children's home, with a dark connection to her own family history. Suddenly the case just got personal. As Lottie begins to link the current victims to unsolved murders decades old, two teenage boys go missing. She must close in on the killer before they strike again, but in doing so is she putting her own children in terrifying danger? Lottie is about to come face to face with a twisted soul who has a very warped idea of justice. Fans of Tess Gerritsen, Karin Slaughter and Helen Fields will be gripped by this page-turning serial killer thriller, guaranteed to keep you reading late into the night.

•Saknade själar• av Patricia Gibney är första delen i serien om kriminalkommissarie Lottie Parker. Den här boken har jag växlat att läsa/lyssna på.

En bok om svek och mörkläggning av begångna brott för decennier sedan och som kommer upp till ytan i nutid. En bok om prästers övergrepp på övergivna barn. En bok om ondska och grymhet. En gripande thrillers.

I en katedral i Ragmullin hittas en kvinna död. Några timmar senare påträffas en man död utanför sitt hem. Det visar sig att både mannen och kvinnan har identiska tatueringar. När polisen börjar undersöka morden visar allt fler samband dem emellan. Spåren leder Lottie Parker och hennes team till St Angelas, ett tidigare barnhem med ett mörkt förflutet. Det visar sig också ha en anknytning till Lotties egna trasiga familjehistoria. Men vem är det som ligger bakom dessa brott?
