DS Bill Grant is having a bad day. It won’t get better.

Being handed the case of a missing teenager isn't a vote of confidence. It means Bill is the last man standing on a morning when everyone else called in sick.
The boy has run away before. It should be routine. It isn't.
When the teenager turns up dead and the trail leads into Portsmouth's county lines network, it needs a detective on top of his game. But Bill has been coasting for years and finds himself out of his depth. Then he discovers his daughter knew the victim, and the case gets personal.
With time running out, ignoring the truth is not an option, and it could cost him everything.
The case, his daughter, himself.


A gripping British police procedural for fans of Ann Cleeves and Peter Robinson.
