'A compulsive thriller' Ann Cleeves

'Not to be missed!' Daniel Sellers His team is compromised As dusk falls the night before the trial of notorious crime boss Thomas Unwin, the prosecution's star witness is brutally murdered, his killer escaping in plain sight from a secure hotel.

His girlfriend is in danger Detective Rick Turner spent months building the case against Unwin, and he's not willing to give up now. But Unwin has one final trick up his sleeve to turn the trial in his favour: he has Rick's girlfriend, Jess, kidnapped in a plan to coerce Rick into throwing his own testimony.

The biggest case of his life hangs in the balance Faced with a stark choice, Rick must find Jess or give false testimony which would cost him his career and let Unwin walk free. But with the net closing in Rick must soon face a terrifying truth: the killer is closer to him than he ever expected, and as the case turns personal there is no one he can trust, not even his closest colleagues...

Perfect for fans of Gytha Lodge, Michael Wood and Matt Brolly
