A BRUTAL MURDER
Sheffield detective DCI Diana Walker is called to a gruesome scene – the charred remains of a man have been discovered, showing signs of torture. The body was abandoned on the wild moors of the Peak District, but he wasn’t killed there.
A LIFE GONE UP IN FLAMES
An arson fire in Sheffield reveals the site of another murder, this time of a young woman, and DCI Diana Walker finds herself investigating two brutal killings.
A DARK TRUTH
When the victim’s identities are revealed, Diana searches their seemingly mundane lives for answers. Surprising connections to Sheffield’s criminal underworld reveal webs of corruption at the city’s heart, and something far more deadly.
