Summary

The widow is a cop. Forget the law, she wants revenge.

Detective Inspector Stella Cole was a rising star in London’s Metropolitan Police. Then a hit-and-run driver killed her husband, Richard, a human rights lawyer. Grief drove her to booze and pills. Back at work after a year’s compassionate leave, Stella secretly re-investigates his death and begins to suspect a cover-up. Freelance journalist Vicky Riley was working with Richard to expose corruption buried deep inside the legal system. Unaware that powerful people are out to stop her, she contacts Stella.

Vicky’s research confirms Stella’s worst fears. The people who should be upholding the law are turning it on its head.

Stella thinks she’s closing in on the truth. Then a horrific discovery threatens her very sanity. What began as a search for justice is now a raging thirst for revenge.

The whole book kept me on the edge of my seat, thanks.

I would have liked it to have been a little longer as I now look forward to the next series.

A One D.I. Anti Corruption Force

A refreshing thriller with plenty of well researched detail and a convincing fast pace. I have to say that I enjoyed this novel more than the two I have so far read from the Gabriel Wolfe series by the same author.

A great book RUINED by the Narrator!

The book is excellent with interesting characters and a well paced and formulated plot. There is one big problem. The narrator is dreadful. I have listened to well over 100 audiobooks over the years and this narrator rates as one of the two worst ever. Please do this author and series a favor and change narrators. The whispering is just beyond awful. I am not the only person to mention this audible!

Great story.. horrible narration

I really liked the story, and would have throughly enjoyed reading the book, however the narration was dreadful... awful sound quality and shocking attempt at ‘acting’ ruined the overall experience... will buy the paperback for the next one ..

Retribution with a vengeance

The thought of corruption in the people we relie on is a worrying thought .This is retribution with a vengeance and vengeance in this story comes in bucket loads, if you don't mind blood this is a great story.

Hard to follow

The narrator sounded as if she was in a cupboard, really hard to follow due to echo , sad because I paid for this and was looking forward to following the rest in the sequel.
