Discover an electrifying crime thriller full of breathtaking twists, set amid the lonely hills of County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Gerren Penrose has waited too long to call on his friend, reclusive old Rob Harris. He takes the twisty road to Rob's secluded cottage, steps inside . . .
To be hit by the stench of death.
Gerren follows a trail of dismembered pieces, to what remains of his friend. The grisly sight sends him running from the cottage - the howls of Rob's beloved collie ringing in his ears.
He thinks the horror is behind him. That he's alone out in the darkening hills. But he is wrong.
Not far away, a woman hides in the shadows, watching silently.
Her and the dead man were close like you wouldn't believe. But she's not sorry he's gone. She's smiling.
Can Detectives Harvey and Birch uncover the shocking secret that binds them? Before fresh blood is spilled . . .
Fans of BBC's Line of Duty, Joy Ellis, Lynda La Plante, Tana French, Rachel McLean, Claire McGowan, Angela Marsons, Steve Cavanagh and Helen H. Durrant will devour this new character-driven page-turner by one of Northern Ireland's hottest talents.
MEET THE DETECTIVES
DETECTIVE ASHA HARVEY
Asha Harvey has always had a powerful sense of right and wrong. She has wanted to be a detective since she was a child, and while she can be a little too trusting, her open manner makes people want to confide in her. She is especially driven to succeed as a woman of colour in a largely white, male police force in Northern Ireland. Her family support her and are ridiculously proud of her, which adds to her internal pressure to succeed.
DETECTIVE AARON BIRCH
Boyish and gangly, Aaron Birch entered the police force as a detective through a graduate recruitment scheme. This makes him the butt of snide remarks by fellow officers, so he always feels he has something to prove. He also has a tendency to stretch the rules to suit himself, which can lead to him getting into trouble.
