THE BRAND NEW MYSTERY IN THE BESTSELLING LIVERPOOL CRIME THRILLER SERIES

Detective Jordan Carr walks down to the canal for some fresh air.

Then he catches the smell. Flies on his sleeve. Rats in the long grass.

Behind the boarded window of a derelict storage unit lies the body of a young woman. Her throat has been cut and she’s been dumped like rubbish.

No one knows who she is. There’s just a single clue: one word, in Sanskrit, tattooed on her neck. Freedom.

Jordan’s team is short-staffed and his boss wants a quick result. But the leads are thin. A blue van seen by the canal and a man in a nearby farmhouse who won’t open his door.

Then the fires start. Evidence goes up in smoke. And the case threatens to slip out of Jordan’s hands.

Jordan must give this nameless young woman back her name before the killer burns away every last trace of her.

Perfect for fans of Peter Robinson, Ann Cleeves, Helen H. Durrant and Ian Rankin.
