Zellah Wilding - a straight-A student from a strict churchgoing family - lies dead on Wormwood Scrubs. What was this good girl doing out there, dressed to kill, when she was supposed to be at a sleepover with schoolfriends? Who took her to the Bank Holiday fair? And who followed her afterwards? A secret boyfriend from a run-down estate, a recently-released serial rapist... or could the answer lie closer to home?
It seems the more Bill Slider investigates, the less he understands this very secret girl...
