DI Jack Lennon and DCI Serena Flanagan must join forces to investigate a series of murders reaching back decades. Rea Carlisle inherits a house from an uncle she never knew – and with it a leather-bound book containing fingernails, locks of hair and a list of victims. Horrified, Rea turns to the only person she can think of: old flame DI Jack Lennon. But Lennon has his own troubles, and they only get worse when a brutal murder places him in the crosshairs of one of the force’s toughest detectives: DCI Serena Flanagan.

Lennon soon realises that running isn’t an option, and an alliance with Flanagan is the only way to find a killer with nothing left to lose.

Everyone has a secret. But some are worse than you could ever imagine.

Nell Sweeney has led an ordinary life. Every day she walks to and from the hospital where she works as a nurse, believing that no harm can befall her. Until one day she is taken.

Because someone out there has a secret. Someone out there has been watching Nell – and they’ve been watching others like her too. Nell is the unlucky one – she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And if she isn’t found soon, someone will make sure that she isn’t the last woman to be taken…
