This was a superb and grimly realistic detective story. It follows the investigation of a woman who was brutally murdered by gasoline poured on her and then being set afire.
We follow the detectives as they attempt to unravel this mindless crime - and themselves become victims of it. They are immersed as they interview various friends of the murdered woman. They try to unravel who could possibly have done such a horrendous act. Years pass as the detectives desperately try to find the guilty person. The crime does not leave them
The dialogue is thoughtful and penetrating. At one stage we are simply told that the woman was a victim not because of her past, but because she was woman.
