On compassionate leave following the death of her mother, Detective Constable Constance Fairchild thought renting a cottage near Aberystwyth, Wales would get her far enough from London to finally relax. But trouble always seems to find Con, and it's not long before she is cooling off in a police station cell after defending herself from two would-be rapists.

In custody she meets a young Ukrainian woman, Lila, who confides in Con that she's been forced by her manipulative boyfriend into prostitution and running drugs. Fearing for her life, she has run away from him, only to end up in the cells.

Con offers to help, but when her cottage is ransacked, and Lila subsequently disappears, she realises she's stumbled into very dangerous company. International drug smugglers and ruthless people traffickers - those who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets. Out here at the end of the line, will Con find that there's nowhere left to run?

So many twists and turns in the plot that I cannot predict what will happen next. Loved every minute.

Brilliant

I love beyond words the elegant mix of real and surreal that is the unique brand of James Oswald. I truly hope he never ever stops writing. Rose Akroyd is perfect as the voice of Con. Smooth and soft to listen to.

I thoroughly enjoyed the inclusion of myth and the supernatural. Con did irritate me at times and I certainly wouldn’t have bothered to save the life of one of the men who had been intent on rape. Loved the wolfhound.
One of the niggles was the use, I would say misuse, of the word startled. Unless correct forms of English grammar have altered since I was at school, maybe.

Loved it

Enjoyed this book but the author asks the reader to take a number of “leaps of faith”..the plot is unbelievable at times, but a combination of fast pace and wit still makes it a good listen.
Very good narration also.

Violent Enid Blyton!

Another masterpiece from James Oswald and brilliantly narrated by Rose Aykroyd. I really honestly keeping everything crossed that this isn't the last that we hear from DC Constance Fairchild or Madame Rose

outstanding
