Detective Laura Foster's career is ruined. A high-profile case has just collapsed, leaving a suspected killer on the streets, and now Laura's on the verge of quitting the police altogether. She's persuaded to take on one last assignment, investigating the deaths of several homeless people in London, but she's just going through the motions. The killer guts his victims with a hook, but he's smart and Laura knows deep down that she's not good enough to catch him.
And then she meets Ophelia.
Extremely intelligent but hopelessly out of control, Ophelia is Laura's guide to the world of London's homeless population. At first Laura finds Ophelia impossible to manage, but the pair soon start to develop a way of working together. Ophelia awakens something in Laura, showing her that she might be able to solve the case after all. As for Ophelia, she's hiding some dark secrets that she knows will have to come out eventually: her name isn't really Ophelia, and there's a very good reason why she's hiding in the darkest corners of the city.
This collection contains the original three novels in the Ophelia series, which were also published as the Detective Laura Foster series. Also included is a brand new, exclusive short story titled Five Years Later, which reveals what happened to both Laura and Ophelia after the shocking conclusion of the third book.

I enjoyed this book it is one of my favorites by Amy Cross I know its a trilogy but I would love to read more you really feel like you get to know the people theres also a lot of subjects left open that could be added on to but it does end great read
Another really good read. I think Amy has a real talent in writing such great ' who done it's ' and horror stores! They are so compelling it's hard to put them down. Can't wait to start reading another one!😃
Wow, excellent plots, great characters and a real page turner. Really disappointed that it had to end, I really wanted to read more about Laura and Ophelia.
