Synopsis
A missing-persons case isn&’t what it seems in this page-turning thriller from CWA Silver Dagger Award–winning author Sarah Dunant Tough-talking PI Hannah Wolfe takes whatever cases she can get. This time, it&’s a missing person: Carolyn Hamilton, a twenty-three-year-old ballet dancer, has seemingly vanished into thin air. But while Hannah chases down dead-end leads, the dancer&’s body is fished out of the Thames. She was eight months pregnant. The police claim she committed suicide, but Hannah doesn&’t buy the official verdict. The private eye refuses to believe that Carolyn would kill herself and her unborn child, but she&’s convinced that her death is somehow connected to the pregnancy. Hannah&’s quest to find the baby&’s father takes her to France, where an unusual ad Carolyn answered leads to an old, moneyed family keeping monstrous secrets. And not even Hannah can guess at a deception that stretches back decades. Forced to confront her own ambivalent feelings about commitment and motherhood, Hannah won&’t rest until she gets justice for Carolyn—even if it means risking her own life. This thinking person&’s thriller from New York Times–bestselling author Sarah Dunant introduces a female sleuth—reminiscent of P. D. James&’s Cordelia Gray, Raymond Chandler&’s Philip Marlowe, and Sue Grafton&’s Kinsey Millhone—who readers are bound never to forget. Birth Marks is the 1st book in the Hannah Wolfe Crime Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
