Dawn Prentice was already known to the Peterborough Hate Crimes Unit. The
previous summer she had logged a number of calls detailing the
harassment she and her severely disabled teenage daughter were
undergoing. Now she is dead – stabbed to death whilst Holly Prentice has
been left to starve upstairs.
DS Ferreira, only recently back serving
on the force after being severely injured in the line of duty, had met
with Dawn that summer. Was she negligent in not taking Dawn’s
accusations more seriously? Did the murderer even know that Holly was
helpless upstairs while her mother bled to death?
Whilst
Ferreira battles her demons, determined to prove she’s up to the
frontline, DI Zigic is drawn into conflict with an official seemingly
resolved to hide the truth about one of his main suspects. Can either
officer unpick the truth about mother and daughter, and bring their
killer to justice?
