DISCOVER A TOTALLY GRIPPING CRIME MYSTERY BY A BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Lisa Webb is beaten and left to drown in a pond days before her sixteenth birthday. It looks like she’s the latest victim of a serial sex offender who has been terrorising the area. But DI Sarah Quinn realizes things are not as they seem when it transpires that the dead girl’s best friend is missing.

The investigation is heading nowhere. The victim’s father is refusing to play ball, Caroline King is meddling once again and the new Chief Superintendent seems determined to undermine Quinn at every turn . . .

A GRITTY, HEART-STOPPING POLICE PROCEDURAL THAT WILL KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT TURNING THE PAGES

Perfect for fans of Helen H. Durrant, Charlie Gallagher, Cara Hunter, Angela Marsons, DS Butler, Carol Wyer, Alex Smith and Rachel Abbott.

MEET DI SARAH QUINN
DI Sarah Quinn is a career police office dedicated to the job — and the rule book. In her relentless pursuit of hardened criminals, she’s ice-cold, cucumber-calm and extremely driven. Is it any wonder colleagues call her the Ice Queen — though not often to her face? But, like icebergs, Sarah Quinn has hidden depths and a job with hidden dangers.

THE SETTING
The vibrant, buzzing, diverse city of Birmingham provides the setting for the Sarah Quinn crime novels. The DI’s patch covers everything from council housing to opulent enclaves, high rise flats to sleepy suburbs and sleazy back streets. The UK’s second city boasts more canal miles than Venice and more parks than Paris. Wherever crime breaks out, DI Quinn is on the case and on the criminal’s trail . . .
