This pacy thriller is a thrilling debut introduction to DI Hanlon. A granite tough Met detective with previous for pushing the rules to get her man, she has her mettle put to the ultimate test when a horrific kidnap blows a bigger missing children case wide open. Soon, suspicions are growing that guilty parties might be working within the Metropolitan Police, and Hanlon must balance fierce loyalties, an intense dedication to seeking out justice—and her own closely-guarded secrets.
