'Flipping fantastic! A rollercoaster ride, with twists and turns aplenty.' 5⭐ reader review of The List
Meet the Met's Detective Martha Munro, in the most pulse-pounding page-turner you'll read this summer.
First comes the win. Then comes the catch . . .
For years, Martha Munro dreamed of taking down her mother's killer. The charming, and rotten-to-the-core, DCI Tony Green.
Martha exposed his corruption. The crimes he tried so hard to bury.
Now he's back with a chilling new obsession: burying Martha.
A string of threatening letters land on the doorstep of Martha's cozy Victorian terrace. Scrawled in red ink, the message is always the same: Die, bitch. Die.
It's game on between Martha and her old adversary - and Tony's playing dirtier than ever.
Before long, Martha realizes that someone is leaking secrets to Tony. Secrets that only those closest to Martha could possibly know.
Can she shut Tony down - before he makes good on his threats?
It's cat-and-mouse to hunt him down, before he catches her first . . .
Fans of Happy Valley, Helen H. Durrant, Martina Cole, Angela Marsons and D.S. Butler will devour this electrifying new thriller, packed with pitch-dark wit and a heroine you'd follow into hell.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Brave, smart, loyal . . . These are all attributes that have served Detective Martha Munro well in life. She followed in her father's footsteps and became a police officer, all while being a single parent to her young daughter. She's the kind of woman who lives life on her own terms. She doesn't recognize boundaries - she only sees opportunities. Thank goodness she still has old family friend Harry 'The Hat' Martin around to temper her wilder instincts.
