'A superbly crafted, riveting, page-turner of a read' - BooklistKate Romilly left her old life behind when she left her unfaithful husband. Moving to the small town of Broadminster with her young son was a fresh start. Closer to her best friend, with a good job, a new flat, it was a chance to start again. But a killer is attacking divorcees...At the scene of each crime, the name 'Delilah' is scrawled in lipstick on the victim's mirror. The danger is coming closer to home. Kate starts receiving strange 'gifts', a dead pigeon, a dismembered moth - she fears she may be the next target...Chief Inspector Webb and Sergeant Jackson are in a race against time to unravel this seemingly impossible mystery and find the culprit before the next dead body found is Kate Romilly's.A Shroud for Delilah is a fast-paced crime novel featuring Anthea Fraser's popular detective David Webb.Praise for Anthea Fraser:'Fraser is her dependable elegant, guileful self, withholding the killer's identity till a dying fall' - Sunday Times'A well-mannered, well-plotted and well-told story' - Birmingham Post'Sympathetic, well-executed book, in which full attention is paid to human feelings and failings' - Yorkshire PostAnthea Fraser has written all her life but did not begin to take it seriously until after marriage, when she found herself at home with two small daughters and embarked on a correspondence course with the London School of Journalism.
