Desperate to uncover the truth about her husband’s murder, DI Maeve Mahoney becomes embroiled in a terrifying cat and mouse chase with the killer
Lewisham, South-East London. A young woman’s body is found in a quiet laneway. She’s been run over. Deliberately.
For DI Maeve Mahoney, it’s going to be a tough case. For one thing, the hit and run eerily mirrors the recent, unsolved murder of Maeve’s husband. Then there’s victim herself. It seems the killer got the wrong girl. And the intended victim, Katie Hope, has disappeared with her young son.
As Maeve races to find Katie, she realises she's not the only one. Local loan shark Billy Dunston has his own reasons for wanting Katie out of the way and nothing's going to stop him.
As Maeve pursues Dunston with relentless determination, she is blind to the fact that he’s not her only problem. Someone close to her is trying to destroy her. Every step closer to Dunston is a step closer to her life being ripped apart. If she’s not careful, her job, her family and everything she’s ever cared about will be lost forever.
