Daughters of Darkness (okładka  twarda, wyd. 05.2020)

Superior... Refreshingly, Spencer doesn`t make Redhead, who`s capable of snark and petty malice, wholly likable. Readers will look forward to the further adventures of this distinctive lead - Publishers Weekly Starred Review Private investigator Jennie Redhead is hired to investigate a murder that`s left the police baffled, in this gripping historical mystery set partly in 1970`s Oxford and partly in war-torn 1940`s London. Oxford, 1975. Three years ago, world-renowned anthropologist Grace Stockton was slain in a brutal, unprovoked attack. Despite a large-scale police investigation, the identity of the prime suspect was never uncovered . . . and neither was the location of Grace`s head. But Grace`s daughter, the wealthy academic Julia Pemberton, refuses to accept that the trail has run cold. Determined to find out who killed her mother, she knows just the woman for the job: private investigator Jennie Redhead. Who was the woman caught on CCTV visiting Grace`s isolated home on the day of the murder? And why did she cut off her victim`s head? Jennie`s search for answers takes her on a dark, disturbing journey into the past, from the ancient tribal customs of Papua New Guinea, to war-torn 1940`s London, and to a dark tangle of secrets and scandal that someone is desperate should never be revealed . . .
