The Indigo Rose Mystery: A Claire William's Novel.

By Barrie John Wakeford

A killer leaves roses. The past refuses to stay buried.

In 1991, the streets of Ealing are changing-but evil knows exactly where to hide.

Claire M Williams is a private investigator by necessity, not bravado. Quiet, observant, and underestimated, she prefers working in the shadows-until the murder of her best friend forces her into the light.

The victim is the second in a disturbing pattern.

Each body is discovered with a bloodstained indigo rose wired to their hand-a signature too deliberate to ignore. As panic spreads and the police race to stop a serial killer, Claire is pulled into an investigation that blurs the line between amateur sleuth and professional law enforcement.

What begins as a hunt for a murderer becomes something far more personal.

Digging deeper into the case, Claire uncovers long-buried secrets tied not only to the victims but also to her family. The closer she gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes: this killer knows far more about her than she ever wanted to know about herself.

And by the end of the trail, Claire will finally learn who killed her father... and why.
