Footprints in the rain

Audiobook Footprints in the Rain, by Wendy Dranfield, read by Karolína Půčková. Madison Harper #8 NO NAME. WITHOUT A TREE. NO SLIT. While her partner goes missing, Detective Madison Harper has her hands full. They must handle the investigation of the discovery of a body in the murky shallows of Lost Creek while helping a desperate mother searching for her missing young son. He barely has time to eat or sleep. But someone in this small town has lost a loved one and a child's life may be in danger. Driven by a sense of duty, Madison reads old unsolved cases and interviews residents of a mobile home park near where a headless body was found. Without a face to identify and without teeth to match against dental records, it is almost impossible to name a decapitation victim. But then the autopsy reveals one detail: a red rose was forced down her throat. What kind of monster would be capable of such a thing? What message was it trying to send? The investigation appears to be stalled - until Madison returns home to find a photo of a terrified-looking girl on the windscreen of her car. On the back is written a message that grips her with an icy fear: Sophie. Day 1. Now Madison is searching for a missing child, a killer and a missing girl, and she's pushed to the limit. As terror spreads through the tight-knit community, she vows that no innocent life will be extinguished under her watch. But once the cases begin to connect and she comes face to face with the twisted individual at the very centre of it all, will there be anyone left to save?
