Jimmy Stone died of a broken heart. Literally - someone put a sharp object between his ribs and pushed, hard. He was found sitting in a circle with three other corpses in the living room of a Notting Hill flat. Notting Hill - with its million-pound houses a hundred yards away from sink estates - is DS Stella Mooney's patch, so it's up to her to discover who broke this heart of Stone's. But when Mooney's private life gets caught up in the quest to find Stone's murderer, what will it cost her - and those that she loves?

Down into Darkness

The naked body of a young woman is found hanging from a tree on a London roadside. Scrawled across her back, the words DIRTY GIRL. Detective Sergeant Stella Mooney and the AMIP 5 squad are faced with a murder as baffling as it is chilling. With no means to identify the victim and no apparent motive, the case is blocked, until...A man is found on a bench by the river, his throat cut back to the vertebrae. And, as before, the killer has left a trademark comment: FILTHY COWARD. Stella and her team can see there's a connection: but what? One victim is a young girl - maybe one of the hookers who work the Strip; the other a researcher for a prominent and controversial MP. More evidence is needed. And soon enough, it comes: another death; another message...
