Two young university students are found dead in the river Avon several months apart. Were their deaths accidental due to drowning or had they been murdered? DCI Dan Skelton believes that the girls had been drugged and raped and that their killer had ingeniously made it look like they had simply drowned. The killer would have needed a motor vehicle to transport the bodies �to the river, however Skelton's only suspect does not drive. Can Skelton discover how the suspect moved the bodies to the river, despite CCTV cameras failing to spot the suspect. You will be on the edge of your seat yelling for Skelton to solve this Dilemma. First in the series of Detective Dan Skelton crime thrillers, set in the modern-day Georgian city of Bath.
