The one place she never wanted to go back to. The one place she can't escape.
When she was just five years old, Lucy Murphy witnessed her mother's brutal murder in their home on London's notorious Griffin Estate. The case was never solved. Now a newly qualified police officer, Lucy has been given her first job: she's going back to the Griffin Estate.
She is there to protect the estate's vulnerable residents, including Shannon and Kian Winters, two kids struggling to deal with their alcoholic mother. Fifteen-year-old Shannon is working every spare hour to keep a roof over their heads, but thirteen-year-old Kian has fallen under the sway of gang leader Jax Priestly. And now Jax has plans for Shannon too...
As Lucy gets to know Kian and Shannon she becomes determined not to let the two teenagers become Jax's victims. But time is running out. Jax is out of control, and the gang's violent reprisals are escalating. Can Lucy face down her own demons in time to prevent a tragedy? As a child, she already witnessed the murder of one innocent person. It will take all her courage and training to stop another.
A shocking, fast-paced read that will keep you gripped from beginning to end. Fans of Kimberley Chambers and Martina Cole won't be able to put this down.
