About this ebook
Book One of a Murder Investigation Series with rookie Criminal Psychologist, Melanie Underwood.
In 1952, twenty-year-old nurse, Vera Parsons, was arrested on suspicion of murdering her lover, Dr. Anthony Weldon.
From the moment hospital staff discovered the young nurse slumped over Dr. Anthony Weldon’s body, she fell silent—and she did not speak another word for nearly fifteen years. Consequently, she was unable—or unwilling, to plead guilty—or not guilty, in a court of law, and was therefore unable to be tried for murder, which at that time carried the death penalty by hanging.
Instead, Vera Parsons was sent to a secure mental institution near London; and there she remained, incarcerated—in silence. She was finally released in 1970, after being assessed by the Parole Board as: “No longer a threat to the community at large.”
Fast forward to the present day and Melanie Underwood is a young and ambitious Cambridge graduate, training to be a criminal psychologist and working for Alan Cornish, the successful owner of a high-tech, private investigation company called, Probe. Her PhD research has lead her to a local old people’s home to question the now aged, capricious and cantankerous, Vera Parsons, about the murder she was never convicted of and still remains unsolved. The old lady is infatuated and revitalised by Melanie’s beauty and she decides to tell Melanie what happened on that fateful day. Melanie is elated, believing she has won the old lady over.
What unfolds is a story of cruelty, perversion, abuse, and murders, wrapped up with mendacity and revenge.
