________________

A woman and her teenage daughter are found murdered in their South London home. The girl's throat has been cut. Her mother stabbed to death.

When DC Maeve Kerrigan arrives at the scene, her first thought is that this is a domestic dispute gone bad.
But the husband - found bloody and unconscious in an upstairs room - insists he's the third victim not the killer.

With Maeve's only witness refusing to talk, how will she unravel the truth?

About the author

Jane Casey

“All my criminal elements have some basis in reality, no matter how awful they may be. Nothing is completely farfetched.” Jane Casey

Crime is a family affair for Jane Casey. Married to a criminal barrister, she has a unique insight into the brutal underbelly of urban life, from the smell of a police cell to the darkest motives of a serial killer.

This gritty realism has made her books international bestsellers and critical successes; while D.C. Maeve Kerrigan has quickly become one of the most popular characters in crime fiction.

Her novel The Stranger You Know won the Mary Higgins Clark Award and she has also been shortlisted for the Irish Crime Novel of the Year Award four times as well as the CWA Dagger in the Library Award.
