Catching a killer has never been harder.
Denbigh Asylum is nothing more than a disused, rundown building, the playground of bored local teens. But when one group discovers a body there, DI Ruth Hunter is called in to investigate.
Leads suggest the murder might be linked to a modern slavery ring trafficking. Or was the victim killed because of a toxic relationship they were in?
But then there's another murder and it becomes clear that something bigger is at play and more lives are at stake. Can Ruth find the killer before they escape and disappear forever?
A gripping and twisty detective novel that you won't be able to put down! Perfect for fans of Neil Lancaster, Sarah Ward and LJ Ross.
