About this eBook
What price would you pay for revenge?
1997. Fifteen-year-old Grace Kirby kisses her mum and heads off to school. It's a day like any other, except that Grace will never return home. Fifteen years have passed since Grace went missing. In that time, Stephen Baxley has made millions and now he's lost millions. Suicide seems like the only option. But Stephen has no intention of leaving behind his wife, son and daughter. He wants them all to be together forever, in this world or the next.
Angel is on the brink of suicide too. Then she hears a name on the news that transports her back to a windowless basement. Something terrible happened in that basement. Something Angel has been running from most of her life. But the time for running is over. Now is the time to start fighting back.
At the scene of a multiple shooting, DI Jim Monahan finds evidence of a sickening crime linked to Grace Kirby. Then more people start turning up dead. Who is the killer? Are the victims also linked to the Grace? Who will be next to die? The answers will test to breaking-point Jim's faith in the law he's spent his life upholding.

'Fast-moving action and lots of twists' The Times.
'Will grip you like a vice and keep you in its tight hold until the very last page' CrimeSquad.
'The sheer relentless pace of a story as relevant as today's news sucks in the reader' CrimeReview.
'Entertaining, violent and gritty. A thriller and a whodunit' Crime Thriller Hound.
