'A superbly crafted, riveting, page-turner of a read' - Booklist

Kate Romilly left her old life behind when she left her unfaithful husband. Moving to the small town of Broadminster with her young son was a fresh start. Closer to her best friend, with a good job, a new flat, it was a chance to start again. But a killer is attacking divorcees...

At the scene of each crime, the name 'Delilah' is scrawled in lipstick on the victim's mirror. The danger is coming closer to home. Kate starts receiving strange 'gifts', a dead pigeon, a dismembered moth - she fears she may be the next target...

Chief Inspector Webb and Sergeant Jackson are in a race against time to unravel this seemingly impossible mystery and find the culprit before the next dead body found is Kate Romilly's.

A Shroud for Delilah is a fast-paced crime novel featuring Anthea Fraser's popular detective David Webb.
