Summary

A heart-stopping delve into the twisted mind of a serial killer from the creator of the hit BBC drama Silent Witness. Perfect for fans of M.J. Arlidge and Angela Marsons.

Stretching along the shelf, standing upright, were 12 wooden coffins. Nine were closed and three open...with little dolls standing inside them.

It was supposed to be the most special day of her life - until the unthinkable happened. Leslie Petersen is shot dead on her wedding day.

With the bride's killer vanished without a trace, the investigation into the murder grinds to a halt before it's even begun. But then, the decomposing body of an unidentified homeless man is found in an old Cold War bunker, and DCI Mark Lapslie makes a bizarre discovery. Hidden near the body is a shrine full of miniature wooden coffins. Each coffin contains a little doll, all dressed differently.

One of the dolls is dressed as a bride - could this be a link to Leslie's murder? And if so, who do the other dolls represent? Can Lapslie and his team stop the countdown of the 'dying dolls' before it's too late?

DCI Mark Lapslie is back to solve another mystery.

This book revolves around the odd discovery of twelve miniature wooden coffins. Each one has a doll, all dressed differently, either in it or beside it. One is the doll dresses as a bride.

Not far away, in a local church, Leslie Petersen celebrates the most special day of her life - until she is shot dead on her wedding day.

Could there be a link between the coffin dolls and the brides death? If so, who do the other dolls represent? Can Lapslie's team discover the answer?
