The Breaker: Minette Walters

A woman's brutalised body is washed up on a beach and twelve hours later, her three year old daughter is found wandering twenty miles away. Why was Kate Sumner murdered, yet her child, a witness, permitted to live? There is the young actor, a loner with an obsession for pornography who lies about his relationship with Kate - and is Kate the respectable woman her husband claims her to be? And why does their daughter scream in terror every time he tries to pick her up?
