Publisher Description
From an author who Stephen King calls “an absolute master” comes a “heart-clutching psychological thriller” (People) about a young female police officer facing danger on all fronts—from a clever victim of abuse, skeptical colleagues on the force, and even her own father.
Philomena McCarthy is an ambitious police officer with the elite Metropolitan Police in London, responding to a domestic violence call. Tempe Brown is a bloodied young woman and the mistress of a decorated and intimidating London detective, Darren Goodall. Philomena and Tempe strike up a tentative friendship, determined to protect each other from Goodall, but something isn’t quite right about the stories Tempe tells and the secrets she keeps. Yet the young officer is drawn into Tempe’s world, unsure of what is real or invented. After a bungled break-in and an unsolved murder, Philomena finds herself trapped—with her career, her impending wedding, and her very survival in doubt.
Robotham’s brilliant ability to render complex characters, both good and bad, keeps readers unsure of whom to trust, “maintain[ing] an air of excruciating suspense” (The Washington Post)—until the very last page.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A young London police officer is forced to seek help from her own criminal family in Michael Robotham’s live-wire thriller. Philomena “Phil” McCarthy is in hot water when she arrests Darren Goodall, a violent domestic abuser who also happens to be a decorated detective. But things get even more complicated when the victim of his latest crime turns out to have ulterior motives, putting the young officer in a desperate situation with no one to turn to…except for her own nefarious relatives, whom she’s kept her distance from for years. Robotham spins a dark, brisk, and surprisingly funny tale, making us instant fans of the resilient Phil. British narrator Katy Sobey nails every accent, dropping us right into a gritty world. Strap in for a thrilling ride alongside London’s lowlifes.
Customer Reviews
Amazing and twisted!
This has been the BEST book I have listened to in a long while. I kept making guesses and just did not expect much of it. Smart. Witty. Excellent imagery. Characters you love to hate too! Absolutely a must read/listen.
