From multi-million-selling Joy Ellis, one of Britain’s best-loved crime writers, with over twenty number-one bestsellers.
Meet Detective Nikki Galena. She will stop at nothing to avenge her daughter. Under the brooding skies of the Lincolnshire Fens, she pursues the most vicious criminals.
A young woman’s body is found in a remote barn on the Fens. Before she was killed, one of her fingers was cut off.
The case has disturbing similarities to an unsolved murder in Derbyshire the year before. When another woman is found alive with similar injuries, the investigation grows even more complicated.
Nikki must rally her team of detectives to find the killer while facing a traitor on the inside. She doesn’t know which of her colleagues she can trust as she races against time to save more than one victim — including someone she cares deeply about.
The Setting
The Lincolnshire Fens: great open skies brood over marshes, farmland, and nature reserves. It is not easy terrain for the Fenland Constabulary to police: with remote Fen villages, dangerous and often misty lanes, and poor telephone coverage. There are still villages where the oldest residents have never set foot outside their own farmland. A visit to the nearest town is a major event. But it has a strange airy beauty to it, and above it all are the biggest skies you’ve ever seen.
This totally gripping mystery is perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, Angela Marsons, J.D. Kirk, Elly Griffiths and Ann Cleeves.
