Summary

Would you break the law to see justice done? In Sheffield, a bankrupt businessman has murdered his family. It seems like an open-and-shut case: A desperate man resorting to desperate measures.

In Middlesbrough, a woman named Angel is heading south. She is a woman alone. A prostitute. Now a murderer. And she has only one thing on her mind: Revenge.

Two crimes, a hundred miles apart, but a terrible secret connects them.

Excellent story from start to finish!

I have loved this book by the awesome Ben Cheetham. The story & the characters had me gripped from page1.
For me personally very rarely does a story grip me like this one has, I became fond of Jim Monaghan and Grace Kirby as I followed their story through.
Great links to the City of Sheffield as well.
Perfect book for anyone who enjoys a thrilling crime that is in places hard hitting with a powerful storyline. Highly recommended. One of a series of books that I cannot wait to investigate further!

Gritty, fast paced story of redemption!

Not for the faint hearted, but contrasted by warm relationships as well as the hard edges. A fast paced story that may keep you awake!

A superb story

Well written and well read. It describes a kind of cruelty that can never be excused or justified. This was my second listen of this book.

A hard-edged, pacy story

This was an enjoyable listening experience. The story is dark and hard-edged, with a fair degree of complexity and moral twists and turns. It kept my interest and was well-narrated.
