IF NO ONE KNOWS THE VICTIM, HOW CAN YOU CATCH THE KILLER?

With gunshot wounds to the knees, this was no accident. This was murder. But the question is: was this a gangland killing or a murder motivated by a deadly secret closer to home?

With the help of DS Elwyn Price, Rachel must follow the evidence where it takes her. But who can she trust? And who in this notorious area knows more than they’re admitting to?

Meanwhile, Rachel has a huge secret of her own. How long can she keep her pregnancy from her colleagues before she has to face up to the reality of her relationship with the shadowy character Jed McAteer?

Can Rachel uncover the dark secrets of the past and catch the killer — before anyone else dies?

“Superb story telling.”

“Very addictive, once picked up, you can't put down.”

“Excellent, fast paced read.” Suze

“I could not put it down.” Una

“Top notch police procedural.”

MIKE NASH
A highly talented detective, he was a rising star in the Metropolitan Police. Following a particularly gruesome case involving a sadistic serial killer, Nash turns down the chance of promotion and heads back to his native county of Yorkshire. He hopes that returning to his roots will bring peace of mind. However, although the pace of life seems gentler, the crimes prove no less horrific. His skills are tested to the limit by a series of violent crimes that threaten to ruin his plans for a more relaxed lifestyle. Nor is his secret ambition to settle down made any easier by his one weakness, a seemingly unquenchable thirst for female company. That is, until . . .?

LOCATION
The books are set in a fictional rural North Yorkshire with a scattering of market towns, many small villages and countryside that changes from high moorland with dramatic crags, mountain tarns and sparse vegetation, to the gentler, lush agricultural land lower down the valley that is bisected by the river Helm. The town of Helmsdale is where Mike Nash and his team are based, in a sub-division of their headquarters in the larger town of Netherdale. Further to the west is Bishopton, also part of the hub our detectives cover.

TAKING HIM IN WILL MAKE HER QUESTION EVERYTHING — MOST OF ALL HER HUSBAND.

The child refuses to speak, and the police have no clues as to who he is or where he comes from. Only one fact is clear - something, or someone, has left him terrified . . .

Jenny's concern grows as she grapples with more unanswered questions. Why is the boy so anxious around Fraser? And why, in turn, is Fraser so unsettled by the eight-year-old's presence in his house? And who is Mr Hunter, whose cryptic phonecalls repeatedly strike at the very heart of Jenny's own pain?

A nationwide appeal is launched to uncover the boy's identity. It seems the dreadful events that have left him traumatized are about to invade Jenny's secure and loving world — and rip it apart . . .

AND NOW IT TURNS OUT TWO BOYS HAVE GONE MISSING. WHAT’S THE CONNECTION?
