Still reeling from the tragic death of their much-loved colleague, Skinner's men are about to discover that a disturbed serial killer is still at large and very close to home. It's the second week of July Trades Holiday in Edinburgh and things seem very quiet. Until, that is, DCC Bob Skinner and his men get a call informing them that the body of a young woman has been found on a golf course. The way she has been laid out is uncannily familiar. The body has been 'composed', just like the bodies of three other young women in a previous case. Sequel to "Death's door", followed by "Fatal last words". 2008.
