One, two, buckle my shoeThree, four . . . murderIt's the middle of the night when Detective Chris Bailey is called to the crime scene. A body has been found dumped by the side of a remote country road. The victim has been shot five times. She isn't wearing a coat, though it's late February. Her empty purse is strewn a few feet away, she is missing a shoe.Her brother, Mick, is devastated. He's only just moved back to the area after working a high-powered job in Chicago, ready to start a new life. And now this.Then the killer leaves Amanda's ID and missing shoe at Mick's house.Then a second body is found. And a third. Both were left by the roadside, both shot five times, both missing a shoe - that later show up at Mick's.Mick is clearly at the center of everything, but it's also clear that he's a victim, not the killer. Who is trying to frame Mick and why?Just as Bailey feels he's making progress, he receives his own warning. Can he catch a killer, or will he be next?
