A text message from his wife… his dead wife! A murder with no witnesses. No motive. No clues. Where would you begin?

The unsolved murder of a local woman. A spate of armed robberies on petrol stations. Two missing schoolgirls. They say bad things come in threes, but this is challenging the resilience of battle-hardened Yorkshire copper, DCI Frank Finnegan. With a new, and feisty, street-smart female officer joining his ranks, will it be the boost he needs to solve the crimes? When the grieving husband of the murdered woman offers up vital information relating to the missing schoolgirls, things swiftly escalate. Is he telling the truth, creating a diversion, or masking a dark secret? Finnegan's motto is—every crime scene contains a clue; every criminal makes a mistake. His adage is about to be tested to the limit!
