Blurb:: DEAD OLD IS THE SECOND IN THE BEV MORRISS CRIME SERIES.

In Bev's second case, teenage yobs are beating up old women in Birmingham.

When a victim dies with blood spattered daffodils stuffed in her mouth, detectives believe she's the gang's latest target. Bev doesn't buy the police line. No one desecrates a body like that unless it's personal.

An old woman sprawled on a damp, foul-smelling mattress in a cruel parody of peaceful sleep. Bev put out a steadying hand. It was so still, so quiet she could hear the pulse whoosh in her ears. She concentrated again on the macabre tableau. The victim was filthy and scruffy and stank of human waste and booze. But this was no death by natural causes. What sort of sick bastard rammed flowers down a dead woman's throat? It was an indignity too far. The daffodils were some sort of sick message; the killer hadn't used them to choke his victim. The old woman hadn't died from asphyxiation. There was too much blood for that, far too much. And anyway, the murder weapons were still in place.
