#3 in the Jill Kennedy and DCI Max Trentham series (2009)
When two young boys find a woman’s body in a quarry, Jill Kennedy and DCI Max Trentham experience a definite feeling of déjà vu.

The killer was soon dubbed ‘The Undertaker’. Following Jill’s profiling the police tried to arrest a lone called Edward Marshall, but the man had fled and, after a high-speed car chase, lost control and went over a cliff. His car was found but his body remained missing.
