Shona's mysterious bruise develops
after an ill-fated party where she was drugged and attacked.
An anonymous text arrives. It shows the same bruise on a headless, handless, still unidentified, corpse of a woman.
Was her attacker the murderer?
The dishy police inspector dismisses her as a fantasist.
Angry that no one believes her, Shona takes to social media.
She investigates, and discovers a woman who went missing from her village three months ago.
