The secret Hangman : a Peter Diamond mystery, book 9 / Peter Lovesey.
Widowed Inspector Peter Diamond is being pursued by a secret admirer even as he pursues a serial killer. Delia Williamson, a waitress and the mother of two young girls, is first reported missing by her own mother. She is found in a public park, hanged from the crossbar of a children s swing set. There seems to be no reason for her to have committed suicide and the postmortem reveals that she was murdered. Her present partner, her ex-husband, and a traveling salesman who dined at her table in the restaurant where she worked are all suspects. And then her former husband is found in a cave, also hanged. A remorse suicide? Diamond doesn t think so. When a well-to-do couple is found dead, both hanged, a suicide pact is suggested. Diamond is dubious; too many couples are dying by the same method. Before he can figure out what is going on, one more person will die.
