The third stunning thriller in the Kate Brannigan series, from No.1 Sunday Times bestseller Val McDermid.
Manchester-based private eye Kate Brannigan thought it would be safe to let her boyfriend help out with her investigation. But now he’s behind bars and she’s been left caring for his eight-year-old son.
Soon Kate finds herself drawn into the world of drug traffickers, child pornographers, and violent gangland enforcers – bringing her face to face with death in the most terrifying investigation of her career.
“Tough, funny and intensely topical. McDermid stands out as one of the few contemporary writers actually nourished by the here and now.” LITERARY REVIEW
“The Queen of Crime is still at the top of her game.” INDEPENDENT
