His First His Second

In the midst of a cold British winter, a killer takes his third victim.

A unique female detective is tasked with finding her. She has only days.

Now, the victim’s father calls upon skills honed in a dark past and launches his own hunt.

Detective Sergeant Alicia Friend is not your average copper. She’s nice. Too nice, sometimes. And maybe, if pushed, she might admit she keeps her unorthodox, too-happy personality front and centre to fend off the darkness of her caseload. Fortunately, her fierce intelligence and incredible success rate mean senior officers overlook her quirks which often clash with the seriousness of the job.

Parachuted in to bring an end to a chilling kidnap-murder spree, Alicia has less than a week to win over her new colleagues, get her inspector to trust her, then chip away the secrets of a high-society family, and finally uncover the killer’s real objective.

But Richard, the father of the latest victim, believes the police are not moving quickly enough. As his secret actions hinder the case, and a vengeance-fuelled private investigator from the States adds more questions than answers, the clock is ticking until another innocent person dies.

And Alicia will be forced into choices that will impact the rest of her life.
