The Breaker

Twelve hours after a woman's body is washed up on a deserted shore on the south coast of England, her traumatized three-year-old daughter is discovered twenty miles away, alone and apparently abandoned....
The obvious suspect is a young actor, a handsome loner obsessed with pornography, who lies about his relationship with the murdered woman. But as the investigation progresses, police attention shifts to the woman'shusband. Was he in fact on a business trip to Liverpool the night she died? Was she indeed the "respectable woman" he claims her to have been? Did he love her or hate her?
And more disturbing, why does his little daughter scream in horror every time he tries to pick her up?
