The second gripping thriller in the Kate Brannigan series, from No.1 Sunday Times bestseller Val McDermid.
PI Kate Brannigan is hired to investigate a series of strange financial scams across Manchester. At first it looks like a discrepancy with the paperwork, but the deeper Kate digs, the murkier the case becomes.
Before long she's up to her neck in crooked land deals – and murder – and her own life is on the line…
"A satisfying range of villains, Manchester and its environs turn deeply sinister and Brannigan toughs and wisecracks her way to a solution." THE TIMES
"Kate Brannigan deserves promotion to the top rank, alongside Kinsey Millhone and V.I. Warshawski. Plot, characterization, pace are all first-rate, and Brannigan is one of the most likeable of all today's PIs."
