Il y a vingt-cinq ans, un tueur surnommé l’étrangleur de Richmond a terrorisé Londres, faisant quatre victimes avant de disparaître sans laisser de traces. Pour la journaliste spécialisée dans les affaires criminelles Holly Sullivan, ce drame ne se limite pas à une énigme jamais résolue...

Le lendemain d'une violente tempête, le corps d'une adolescente est retrouvé dans les bois. La police est pressée de trouver le meurtrier et d'élucider cette tragédie, mais sans preuves solides ni témoin, l'affaire demeure un mystère.

The morning after a ferocious storm, the body of a vulnerable teenage girl is found in the woods. The police are under pressure to find the killer and solve the tragedy but with thin evidence and no witnesses, the case is falling apart.

Twenty-five years ago, a killer dubbed the Richmond Ripper terrorised London, claiming four victims before vanishing without a trace. Now, with her mother dying, Holly is running out of time to deliver the answers she desperately craves.

25 anni fa, un assassino da tutti chiamato “lo strangolatore di Richmond Park” terrorizzò Londra, uccidendo quattro donne prima di scomparire all’improvviso senza lasciare traccia. Per la giornalista di cronaca nera Holly non si tratta solo dell’ennesimo caso irrisolto: è una questione personale.

Vor fünfundzwanzig Jahren versetzte der Richmond Park Würger London in Angst und Schrecken und ermordete vier Menschen, bevor er spurlos verschwand. Für die Kriminalreporterin Holly Sullivan ist er nicht nur ein weiterer ungelöster Fall, sondern etwas Persönliches.

A la mañana siguiente de una violenta tormenta, aparece el cuerpo de una adolescente vulnerable en el bosque. Presionada, la policía debe encontrar al asesino y resolver la tragedia lo antes posible, pero sin testigos y apenas pruebas, todo parece desmoronarse.
