Detective Monika is at a fancy wedding. She spots a distressed teenage girl, alone and miserable in an ugly pink dress.
She looks like she’s the same age as Monika’s daughter, and Monika is concerned. She wants to go over. Speak to the girl.
She never gets the chance.
Next morning, the girl’s battered body is found in a park. Strangled.
Monika won’t rest until she takes the ruthless killer off the streets. But neither her boss nor her right-hand man think she can handle the chase. They say she’s letting her emotions cloud her judgement.
Can she prove them wrong — before more innocent girls die?
Discover a brilliantly twisty mystery series set in the 1970s — when it was tough to be a woman in a man’s world.

THE DETECTIVE
DCI Monika Paniatowski is smart, ambitious and damaged. Her sergeant started a rumour she landed her post by sleeping her way to the top. But the truth is Monika — a Polish immigrant with a long and traumatic backstory — has had to work twice as hard as any of the resentful male colleagues currently betting against her. Will her flawless instincts be enough to win them round?
THE SETTING
Whitebridge was once a thriving Northern mill town — with canals crisscrossing through it — where everyone looked to the mills for employment and business opportunities. In the 1970s, it is a place in decline, where the social fabric is ripping apart.
