It was a slaughterhouse, the most horrific scene I have ever witnessed . . . Olive Martin is a dangerous woman. I advise you to be extremely wary in your dealings with her.The facts of the case were simple: Olive Martin murdered her mother and sister and cut them into tiny pieces. She pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Once incarcerated, she spends her days carving miniature human figures out of wax, earning herself the nickname 'The Sculptress'. But is murder ever that simple? When Rosalind Leigh, an investigative journalist, is persuaded to research Olive's background, she believes she has uncovered an injustice. If so, she has found the story of a lifetime, a story that may save her faltering career.

An unforgettably menacing and gripping work, Walters will hold you on a knife-edge as Rosalind attempts to untangle the truth about Olive.'A devastating, effective novel' Observer'Awesomely accomplished . . . the plot twists and grips like an octopus' Daily Telegraph
