Recently promoted to Detective Sergeant, Nasreen Maqsood is given the case of a brutalised body found dead in a car park.
When they discover the victim was dragged around the car park by a pick-up truck and the killer recorded the murder, Nasreen realises she has her work cut out. She also has a new partner, Alicia Weekes, and the two detectives don’t get on.
When the victim is identified, the case takes an interesting turn but when a second murder takes place, it sends them down a different track.
Can Nasreen and Weekes put their differences aside, and work together to stop a vicious killer with a sinister agenda before they strike again?
Thrilling, Exciting & Gripping! 
If you like to get your teeth into a gritty crime thriller which keeps you guessing all the way through – this is it!
Newly promoted Sergeant Nasreen Masqood lands the case of a brutal murder at the same time as she lands a new partner. Alicia Weekes, and the animosity is palpable. When another murder follows the first which muddies the water for where they thought it all pointed, can the put aside their differences and work together to find the guilty party?
Yet again, I’ve found myself unable to resist a book mid-series but I’ll happily return to the first two purely based on this one being such a great read! The violent murders didn’t bother me overly much (I’m so squeamish!) as the investigation demanded my attention. The dynamic between the two detectives is fascinating and most definitely added another layer to this enigmatic read. There is always something happening, making it a very hard book to put down – I read way beyond the time I should have been in the land of nod! Thrilling, exciting, gripping and left me desperate to read more from this author. A novel which easily earns a full house of stars and a firm recommendation.
My thanks to the publisher for my copy; this is – as always – my honest, original and unbiased review.
