Faceless Strangers

When the beautiful wife of a local MP is found murdered in her own home, the entire resources of the Cambridge Constabulary are brought to bear. But when, the following day, the decomposed body of a homeless drug addict is discovered, it is an entirely different matter. Police resources are stretched, and there is no money left to deal with the case. But, determined to solve the murder, Detective Sergeant Stanley Sharman ignores his superior officers and approaches Dr Sam Ryan, now working independently in Cambridge, to help him. Between them they form an uneasy alliance to track down the killer of a girl without a past and without an identity.
