The sun is rising over the deserted park. Spring shoots have burst through the frozen ground, framing the woman's broken body in green and gold. Their surge of relief at finding her alive quickly dissolves into fear: the man who did this is still out there. His next victim might not be so lucky... The first time Detective Bernadette Noel sees Keira Howard, she is lying in a hospital bed fighting for her life. The police assume that she has become the latest victim in a series of brutal attacks, and after weeks of fruitless searching, they think the evidence found in Keira's case will finally lead them to their man. When a suspect is caught the case looks closed, but Bernie isn't convinced. Keira may have the same markings as the other women, but she doesn't meet the profile - the random attacker let his victims go. Keira's attacker had intended to kill. The witnesses - Keira's closest friends - are all telling different stories, and the discovery that Keira was hiding a secret pregnancy suddenly makes everything a lot more complicated. When a crucial witness goes missing, Bernie's gut instinct is proven right - so why won't her superiors let her investigate? They may have caught a guilty man, but a potential murderer still walks free. Then when their prime suspect is suddenly killed on police watch, Bernie's situation becomes much more dangerous. The closer Bernie comes to discovering the truth, the more she is putting her life at risk. And the only people she can rely on to make it out alive might be those she can no longer trust. An utterly compelling crime thriller full of twists and suspense, perfect for fans of Val McDermid, Angela Marsons and Cara Hunter. What readers are saying about Joy Kluver: 'Wow!! Just wow!!...
