‘An intoxicating Thriller’ SUN


Irish runaway. Insomniac. Functioning alcoholic.
Life is about to get complicated for DC Donal Lynch.


When a young woman is kidnapped, Donal is brought in to deliver the ransom money. But the tightly-planned drop off goes wrong, Julie Draper is discovered dead, and Donal finds his job on the line – a scapegoat for the officers in charge.


But when Donal is delivered a cryptic message in the night, he learns that Julie was killed long before the botched rescue mission. As he digs further into the murder in a bid to clear his own name, dark revelations make one thing certain: the police are chasing the wrong man, and the killer has far more blood on his hands than they could even imagine.



A gripping, brutal and addictive thriller, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and James Oswald.
