    About this series

    MEET DETECTIVE RUTHERFORD BARNES IN THIS BRILLIANT CRIME SERIES FROM A SERVING POLICE OFFICER.


    An absolutely gripping crime thriller with a massive twist.


    For five long years, Detective Barnes has been hunting the killer of the person he loved the most. Now, the one man who could have revealed the truth is dead. His charred and blackened body is all that remains in his burnt-out flat.


    A week later, a desperate, emaciated young woman hammers on the door of a late-night convenience store. She’s clearly terrified — and running for her life.


    Barnes is convinced the two events are connected. He must team up with his new boss, Superintendent Samson Kane, to uncover the truth.


    But their investigations stir up deadly undercurrents within Eastbourne’s criminal community.


    And the two police detectives are vulnerable. Both Barnes and Kane have secrets in their pasts. Secrets they’ll go to any lengths to keep buried . . .


    Perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Helen H. Durrant, Peter James, Angela Marsons and Rachel McLean.
