RIVER OF SOULS

Book ID/图书代码: 12691012B53138

English Summary/英文概要: Lola is living in a houseboat by Tower Bridge. She spots a young woman’s body on the river shore, but she can’t be identified. Her hands have been amputated and her skin branded, which makes Burns believe she has been punished for taking part in witchcraft. Alice becomes involved when a second young woman’s body is found by the river police at Execution Dock. This time Elena, a Polish woman, comes forward and identifies the victim, but she is too terrified to explain how they met. Alice follows Elena to a women’s refuge in Whitechapel, but she is still too frightened to talk. Elena goes missing from the hostel, and soon her body is found under Waterloo Bridge. Following clues from the women at the refuge Alice and Burns uncover a sex trafficking operation, with girls being smuggled into the country from Eastern Europe. Alice’s own life is in danger throughout the book, because she’s being stalked by a violent ex-patient. In a dramatic climax Alice is trapped in a lift with the gang-master who has been killing girls who try to escape. Alice has to use all her psychological expertise to escape with her life.
