What to expect
The start of an addictive, tense and gritty series from bestelling author Alex Coombs.
Meet DCI Hanlon. A woman with a habit of breaking the rules and a fierce loyalty to the few people she respects.
When the kidnap of a 12-year-old boy blows the case of some missing children wide apart, the finger is pointing at the heart of the Met.
Hanlon is sent in as the only cop who is incorruptible enough to handle it. But can she find the killer before another child is stolen?
Once you start the DCI Hanlon series, you won't be able to put it down. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Lisa Regan and Mark Dawson.
