Girl Number Four

By C.J. Booth

GIRL NUMBER FOUR, the first in the Diamond & Stone Mystery series, is a suspense-filled, page-ripping gem of a thriller

17-year-old Alison Adams never saw the person who threw the acid.
Prom night.
Alison Adams zipped herself into her prom dress and was finishing the final touch up on her salon-coiffed French wave when she heard her date’s knock.
Checking herself in the floor length mirror, she smiled and opened the door.
As her mother had long promised, she would remember this night… forever.
Ten years later.
A scarred and disfigured Alison Adams begs Private Investigators Mallory Dimante and Jake Steiner to solve the seemingly unsolvable cold case. Claiming her life has been ‘gratefully reborn’, she only wants to find and forgive the person responsible.
Sympathetic but wary, Dimante and Steiner reluctantly agree.
However, as their investigation propels them back to that very prom night and the backstabbing turmoil of high school, they find their hot looking senior from Wayland High, had been a wickedly ‘busy’ girl.
In fact, Dimante and Steiner’s investigation stirs the pot of high school jealousy once again, exposing all who hated her and all who had an illicit relationship with her. Until it finally puts Alison Adams face to face with the original perpetrator.
The only certainty when the two meet is that there will be one more brimming vial, in the hand of one not quite sane.
Either someone is intent on finishing what they started ten years ago…
…or someone is determined to exact revenge for a life ruined.
Award-Winning author, C.J. Booth’s mystery thriller sizzles with skin-searing tension and explodes in a harrowing and unforgettable ending.
