As the tension mounts to solve the case, Horton receives a chilling message; time, it seems, is also running out for him personally…

'Deserves mention in the same breath as American procedurals (those by Ed McBain or Joseph Wambaugh for example) and their British counterparts... Peter Robinson and John Harvey.' Booklist starred review

"I enjoyed this book by Pauline Rowson. It was the first book of hers that I have read and I know it won't be the last. I enjoy a story that I can immerse myself into and the character of Andy Horton is just so appealing and interesting. The plot was well crafted and the writing professional. A Great read!"
