Erica Spindler – författare

För fem år sedan hittades tre barn mördade, utklädda till små änglar. Inga vittnen, inga ledtrådar fanns till brottet. Änglamördaren kallade sina avskyvärda handlingar för ”de perfekta brotten”. Fallet raserade närapå kriminalassistent Kitt Lundgrens karriär – och hennes liv – eftersom hon inte lyckades fånga mördaren.Nu är Änglamördaren tillbaka.Men Kitt upptäcker att det är något annorlunda med den nya mordvågen – en liten variation som talar för att de har att göra med en copycat. Så inträffar det otänkbara. Den riktiga Änglamördaren hör av sig till Kitt med ett bisarrt erbjudande: Han vill hjälpa till att fånga sin copycat.Kitt måste nu bestämma sig för om hon kan lita på en seriemördare, eller om hon riskerar att falla offer för en psykopat som har gett uttrycket ”det perfekta brottet” en ny och fasansfull dimension.

Men istället får hon höra rykten om underliga händelser och om grannar som försvinner om nätterna. När Avery går igenom sina föräldrars hem hittar hon en kartong med femton år gamla tidningsartiklar som alla handlar om samma händelse – det brutala mordet på en ung kvinna. Varför har någon sparat dem?Plötsligt hinner det förflutna ikapp. En kvinna hittas brutalt mördad och man söker förgäves efter en främling som setts i staden. Fast besluten att ta reda på sanningen upptäcker journalisten Avery att allt på något sätt är knutet till mordet för länge sedan – och till hennes egen far.
