Friday afternoon, and the traffic is bloody murder. Sergeant Belinda ''Billy'' Kidd is driving home from the airport, jet-lagged and ready to resign from a career that has left her traumatised. Menopause has robbed her confidence too - now she''s a traffic cop who''s afraid to drive. When brake lights haemorrhage up the motorway, the cars grind to a halt. Moments later she finds a dead driver in a black sedan. He has a metal skewer in his neck. But how? The killer can''t have left the scene without being spotted by the dozens of witnesses - so he must still be there, among them. If the traffic jam stays put, they''re all in danger; if the traffic clears, she''ll lose her suspect. The clock is ticking, but she doesn''t know how fast.
