Who can you turn to if not the police? A compelling crime thriller from #1 Kindle bestselling author Isabelle Grey in which a mass shooting exposes a web of police corruption.
‘Full of well-handled forensics and the brooding atmosphere of the Essex coast’ Mail on Sunday
Essex, Christmas Day. As the residents of a small town enjoy their mince pies, shots ring out in the street. Five people are gunned down before the shooter turns the gun on himself.
DI Grace Fisher quickly establishes the shooter’s identity, but, with the first of the five victims one of their own, a police officer, she must now find out what lies behind such an atrocity. As she traces the illegal weapon and its deadly load of homemade bullets, she uncovers a frightening web of tribal loyalties, police corruption, personal vendettas and revenge.
Grace must decide how far she wants to pursue justice – and at what cost.
