What to expect

When DC Fiona Griffiths says 'yes' to her policeman boyfriend, it's an affirmation that she wants finally to put her psychological breakdown behind her, and become a resident of 'Planet Normal' like everybody else. But she still can't resist the challenge of an undercover policing course, and finding it remarkably easy to assume a new identity, she comes top of the class.

So when an ingenious payroll fraud starts to look like the tip of a huge criminal iceberg, Fiona is selected to infiltrate the fraudsters' operation. Posing as a meek former payroll clerk now forced to work as a cleaner, Fiona Griffiths becomes Fiona Grey, hoping the criminals will try and recruit her - knowing that if they discover her real identity, she's dead meat. But as Fiona penetrates deeper into their operation, coming closer to identifying the mastermind behind it, she faces another, even more frightening danger - that her always fragile grip on her sense of self has now been lost and she may never find her way back.

    MICK HERRON

  • Fiona Griffiths is one of the most unusual and engaging characters in British crime fiction. Those who haven't yet encountered Fiona will be drawn into a beautifully crafted world

    SINEAD CROWLEY

  • Gripping...Fiona Griffiths kept me hooked to the last page and left me hungry for more

    RACHEL ABBOTT

  • Exceptional ... Absorbing ... Fiona's narrative sears the pages.

    KIRKUS REVIEWS

  • Fiona Griffiths may be the most fascinating protagonist in fiction. She is similar to Lisbeth Salander, an intelligent but profoundly damaged young woman, but Fiona is less hostile and more curious, sort of a good guy sociopath. I couldn't put it down. This is definitely one of my very favorite thriller series. I love this character and I hope I have the chance to read many more. Harry Bingham is a genius and one hell of a writer.

    Audrey, Top 500 Reviewer

  • Compelling ... a new crime talent to treasure

    DAILY MAIL

  • Very exciting ... well informed and well written. Read this novel.

    Literary Review

  • Gritty, compelling ... a [police] procedural unlike any other you are likely to read this year.
