The little girl appeared in Central Park: red-haired, blue-eyed, smiling, perfect - except for the blood on her shoulder. It fell from the sky, she said, while she was looking for her uncle, who turned into a tree. Poor child, people thought. And then they found the body in the tree. For NYPD detective, Kathy Mallory, there is something about the girl that she understands. Mallory is damaged, they say, but she can tell a kindred spirit. And this one will lead her to a story of extraordinary crimes; murders stretching back fifteen years, blackmail and complicity and a particular cruelty that only someone with Mallory's history could fully recognise. In the next few weeks, Kathy Mallory will deal with them all ... in her own way.

4.5 (Muito bom)

Livro policial com a personagem Kathy Mallory, que tem outros livros (esse é o 10). Essa autora escreve livros com histórias complexas, mas que não ficam chatos, nem difíceis. Uma pena que não tenha sido traduzido no Brasil.
