Time is running out for DI Kelly Porter to catch a team of cold-hearted killers...

When a badly decomposing body is found by Derwent Water, it doesn’t take DI Kelly Porter long to link this professional hit job with the deaths of two scientists in London who worked with the victim. Their secret lab has been emptied and wiped down; their bodies staged to look like an act of passionate revenge.

Investigating these cases takes Kelly back to her former command in the capital, where she is forced to work alongside her calculating ex, DCI Matt Carter. Kelly pulls at the threads of a web of deceit that stretches into the highest echelons of power—a place where secrets and lies are currency and nothing is off-limits...

A must-read from million copy bestseller Rachel Lynch, for fans of L. J. Ross, Carol Wyer and Angela Marsons.

About the Author

Rachel Lynch grew up in Cumbria and the lakes and fells are never far away from her.
