A terrible act of violence. A chance occurrence - or something more sinister?
On a beautiful summer afternoon, Stacey Sullivan is getting married to Mark James. But then screams smother the laughter, police sirens drown out the church bells. Out of nowhere, a drug-fuelled gunman opens fire on the wedding party.
The shooter is beaten, disarmed and detained by the guests. No one knows who the gunman is- or if they do, they-re not admitting it. The job of solving the two murders is laid solely at the feet of DI Charley Mann.
Could this be a random attack, or a pre-planned assassination? When information comes to light of a link to feuding drug-dealing families in Manchester, Charley-s team need to act rapidly. They need to find - and apprehend - those responsible. Fast.
It soon becomes clear: if they fail, more deaths are coming-
An utterly compelling crime thriller that won-t let go, perfect for fans of J. M. Dalgliesh, Ann Cleev
