Summary

Dark, gritty and always edge-of-your-seat: the number one best seller is back with a standout new heroine.

Unknown, alone and fearing for your life. As PC Lucy Clayburn is about to find out, going undercover is the most dangerous work there is. But on the trail of a prolific female serial killer, there's no other option - and these murders are as brutal as they come.

Lucy must step into the line of fire - a stranger in a criminal underworld that butchers anyone who crosses the line. And, unknown to Lucy, she's already treading it....

Always gripping. Always gruesome. Paul Finch will leave fans of Rachel Abbott and MJ Arlidge gasping for more.

Praise for Paul Finch:
"Wonderfully dark and peppered with grim humour. Finch is a born storyteller and writes with the authentic voice of the ex-copper he is." (Peter James)
"Edge-of-the-seat reading.... Heck is formidable - a British Alex Cross." ( The Sun)
"An ingenious and original plot. Compulsive reading." (Rachel Abbott)
"A deliciously twisted and fiendish set of murders and a great pairing of detectives." (Stav Sherez)
"Avon's big star...part edge-of-the-seat, part hide-behind-the-sofa! An excellent series." ( The Bookseller)

An excellent book

I loved the story and the ending.
what was irritating was the town name of Crawley instead of Chorley. The author named all the different places around Chorley...so why it was given the name Crawley was beyond!

Crawley is in the south of England so when the part comes up with regards to accents it does not make any sense.

Another Paul Finch Masterpiece

Paul Finch certainly knows how to write a straight forward, captivating and compelling story. No nonsense story telling at its best, and brilliantly narrated by Chloe Massey. I can't wait to start the book in the series. This was a 10/10 for me.

Another good series by Paul Finch.

I really liked the way the story was told. Although Lucy Clayburn doesn't make all the right decisions I like her character and the way the story unfolds. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Rollercoaster of a story, brilliant!

Right from the off the story starts to lay a path of twists & turns that seemingly don’t stop until the book ends.
Good old fashioned cop styled out by our leading lady who is feisty to core as well as incredibly resourceful, if at times a wee bit stretched.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this book the narration was satisfactory too which added to the whole package being a 10/10 for me!
