Windsor Red

Policewoman Charmain Daniels' innate curiosity of feminist crime takes her on sabbatical from the force to research her thesis in historic Windsor. Her subjects are an odd group of six female ex-cons she's dubbed her Gang of Girls.

But a series of bizarre and gruesome crimes intrude. The rebellious daughter of her closest friend disappears, the severed limbs of an unidentified corpse appear in a trash bin, babies are being snatched - then returned, and headless torsos begin to turn up.

Charmain searches for the invisible thread she suspects links the crimes - perhaps even to her coterie of female criminals as death paints a lovely Windsor red.
