For seven years, DCI Oswald Lennox has chased a ghost, his once-razor-sharp instincts dulled by insomnia and memory lapses. The killer is getting bolder, and Lennox is starting to fear that the biggest clue might be the one he’s already forgotten.
PC Olivia Blackwood’s ADHD makes her unpredictable but brilliant—when she’s focused. Assigned to shadow Lennox, she’s the last person he wants on the case, and she knows it. But as they close in on the killer, a buried secret binds them in ways neither expected—just as the murderer sets their sights on a final, devastating strike.
Andrew Lowe: "I’ve worked with Bryony on thirteen books in total. It’s a joyful and rewarding creative partnership. Bryony has helped me refine my craft, both in terms of close-up style and big-picture storytelling discipline. She has a copy-editor’s forensic eye for detail but can switch to a reader’s-eye view and tune in to the story’s subtext and emotional impact. Bryony has not only helped me improve and optimise the individual books, she has also worked hard on maintaining consistency and continuity across my series. Her extensive story bible of character profiles and world elements has been indispensable in developing a complex ongoing storyline with multiple narrative threads."
