About this item

When an expert on fairy tales is called in to consult on the investigation of bizarre murders, her premonition and insight causes suspicion she must solve the case--and fast--to prove her innocence.Alice Hyland is an expert on fairy tales--lecturing on the well-known stories and their lesser-known variants--and the natural choice for Police Constable Cate Corbin to consult when a dead girl is found in the woods dressed up as Snow White. Especially when the girls grieving mother receives a parcel containing a glass bottle of blood stoppered with the dead girls toe. Cates boss, Detective Superintendent Heath, isnt convinced of the connection to folklore until a second girl is found, this time dressed as Red Riding Hood and with claw marks gouged into her flesh, like a wolf had been at her.
