'The procedural details in this gripping murder story have the ring of truth - but then the author is a detective in the Metropolitan Police' SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB

There were only ever two choices - your life or mine.

Alana Loxton was part of the all-female team to take down Barratt, a notorious serial killer.
He is safely behind bars when one of the detectives goes missing.
Her disappearance, and the connection to the killer, could be a coincidence - but when her body is discovered days later, a link begins to form.
Then another detective from the team goes missing and the situation becomes horrifically clear.
Someone is picking them off one by one - and Alana's name is next on the list . . .

From the author of Before I Say I Do comes a gripping psychological drama that has the twists of a psych-thriller with the layers of a police procedural.
