Publisher's summary

Detectives Byrne and Balzano return to the streets of Philadelphia to put an end to a macabre succession of murdered children.

A quiet Philadelphia suburb. A woman cycles past a train depot with her young daughter. There she finds a murdered girl posed on a newly painted bench. Beside her is a formal invitation to a tea dance in a week's time.

Seven days later two more young victims are discovered in an abandoned house, posed on painted swings. At the scene is an identical invitation. This time, though, there is something extra waiting for Detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano: a delicate porcelain doll.

It's a message. And a threat. With the killers at large, Detectives Byrne and Balzano have just seven more days to find the link between the murders before another innocent child is snatched from the streets.

Great & Unique Story

Excellent narration by Scott Brick, as usual. Author was new to me, but the man sure knows how to write a mystery!

The perfect Combo! Great thriller & Scott Brick

I loved this story! The bad guys were the creepier than any I have ever read. Jessica and burns continued to grow as characters. Scott brick was as always, flawless in his performance. It looks like story line can continue too, which is so exciting!! I loved everything about this story.

Did not command my attention

Less riveting than his other books. Storyline was A bit convoluted . I enjoyed the narration, story could have been stronger, less predictable.

Awesome story

Great thriller. Had my attention the entire time as usual, Scott Brick's narration does not disappoint. The author's storyline was amazing.

Umm, where's the ending??

Great story, riveting all the way through! However, the end was unsatisfying and lackluster. I'll buy more from this author though.

Lots of twists and turns! Kept my interest right from the start. The narrator is amazing. He brings all the characters to life, creating a detailed picture of each in the mind as one listens to the book.
