What if the killer she's hunting turns out to be the woman she's falling for?


A bloody good read Val McDermid A significant crime debut. Authoritatively authentic,irresistibly pacey and nerve-shreddingly tense Chris Brookmyre

Just because the most dangerous criminals in society are caught and locked up,doesn't mean they stop committing crime. Thats where Kennedy Allardyce comes in – working in one of Scotland's toughest prisons,monitoring not just the prisoners,but also the staff. And shes just stumbled across her most dangerous foe yet – rumours of a corrupt guard,nicknamed Scout,with lethal influence. And whats worst,it seems they've already realised Kennedy is on their tail.

Despite her growing fear,there is one thing going right for Kennedy. The enigmatic new prison officer Molly is beautiful and ready to sweep her off her feet.

But Kennedy can't afford to let her guard down. Because with Scout hiding very close by,her next mistake might just be her last . . .

An assured debut by former prison officer ,taking us inside the claustrophobic and ofttimes gladiatorial setting of a modern prison. With the dodgy guards and vicious cons,this is a topical dive into the darker aspects of our penal system.
