Coffin's Game — Gwendoline Butler

PLACES IN THE MIND

A series of random terrorist acts have struck the heart of Commander John Coffin's Docklands area. The body of a dead woman, rendered unidentifiable by her killer, is at first believed to be that of Stella Pinero, Coffin's wife. While Coffin confirms it is not, he cannot explain the disappearance of Stella, or the treachery that is poised to shatter his personal and professional world.

A second body, obscenely costumed in theater clippings, implicates Stella in a double murder. Coffin's deepest motivations and loyalties are put to the test as a puzzle of evil and deceit unfolds. Only a third murder will tip the killer's hand, revealing a twisted, tragic mystery of blackmail, revenge and madness, unlike any other Coffin has faced.
