When a young boy discovers the body of a woman beneath a thick sheet of ice in a South London park, Detective Erika Foster is called in to lead the murder investigation.
The victim, a beautiful young socialite, appeared to have the perfect life. Yet when Erika begins to dig deeper, she starts to connect the dots between the murder and the killings of three prostitutes, all found strangled, hands bound and dumped in water around London.
What dark secrets is the girl in the ice hiding?
As Erika inches closer to uncovering the truth, the killer is closing in on Erika.
The last investigation Erika led went badly wrong … resulting in the death of her husband. With her career hanging by a thread, Erika must now battle her own personal demons as well as a killer more deadly than any she’s faced before. But will she get to him before he strikes again?
After the body of a young woman is discovered frozen beneath the ice of a London park, Detective Erika Foster is called back to duty. The victim is Andrea Douglas-Brown, a beautiful, wealthy young woman from a powerful and politically influential family. Her murder attracts immediate media attention and pressure from high-ranking officials who want the case solved quickly and discreetly.
Erika is still grieving the loss of her husband, a police officer who was recently killed in the line of duty. But she is determined to find the truth, even if it means going against her superiors. Erika soon uncovers that Andrea’s glamorous life was not as perfect as it seemed. Andrea was hiding secrets and moving in sleazy circles. As Erika digs deeper, she faces opposition from Andrea’s family, who are more concerned with their reputation than justice. She moves forward, piecing together Andrea’s last hours and linking her death to a series of earlier murders of young prostitutes.
This is the first book I've read by this author and I thought it was okay. Because it was set in London, England, there were references to things I hadn't heard of (like windscreens) and I'd sometimes stop to Google to see what they were. It's written in third person third person perspective with the focus on Erika and the killer. The editing could have been better ... there were typos and grammatical errors. As a head's up, there is swearing (including an annoying overuse of the word "bloody") and violence.

This is the first in the Detective Erika Foster Series (there are currently nine) and I liked it enough to read the next one in the series.
